Indeed, both men ?- who these days are not-so-laughingly deemed the last two viable leaders in the economic world -? remain convinced, even as the contagion continues to spread, that their bitter-pill regimen is the only way to go, not only to cure today?s ills but to immunize economies against tomorrow?s tremblings.
