A Narrow Focus That Undercuts Trust
President Barack Obama does deserve credit for increasing economic sanctions and espionage against the Iranian nuclear programs. Keeping the Russians, Chinese and Europeans supporting economic and diplomatic isolation of Iran is a major achievement, and probably had more to do with Iran agreeing to negotiate than did the election of a reformist president in Iran.
Krugman And Netanyahu
Reading Paul Krugman's latest post on Greece motivated me to go back and reread an earlier post by Tyler Cowen at Marginal Revolution. And that got me thinking about Bibi Netanyahu's recent speech to Congress and an analytic piece by Steve Chapman on that speech. The bottom line: Krugman's thinking on Greece is a lot like Netanyahu's thinking on Iran.

Gdefault Needs Not Grexit
The little grumpy cartoon usually represents me pounding my coffee down in agreement as the WSJ exposes some idiocy. Last week, alas, I spilled my grumpy coffee in disagreement with a little part of its otherwise excellent "The case for letting Greece go."

Acemoglu on why nations fail
In this podcast Russell Roberts, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution and EconTalk host, discusses, with Daron Acemoglu of MIT and author (with James Robinson) of Why Nations Fail, the ideas in the book: why some nations fail and others succeed, why some nations grow over time and sustain that growth and others grow and then stagnate. Acemoglu draws on an exceptionally rich set of examples over space and time to argue that differences in institutions—political governance and the inclusiveness of the political and economic system—explain the differences in economic success across nations and over time.
