Worth a Look
It sometimes seems it's a full-time job keeping up with the economic/financial crisis. Here are a few articles that readers would likely miss but which I found interesting and/or insightful for whatever reason. You’re welcome to comment but please don’t expect me to find time to justify my selection.
Self-identified Marxist libertarian Brendan O’Neill explains why he won’t be drooling over the alleged demise of capitalism.
I always enjoy reading John Lanchester in the London Review of Books. His thoughtful account of the present crisis is no exception.
Oxford historian Ross McKibbin asks what David Cameron the Conservative Party leader can do in Britain.
Robert Wade, Professor of Political Economy and Development at the London School of Economics asks if there will be financial regime change. The pdf of his essay is here.
And Anna Jacobson Schwartz, who co-authored (with Milton Friedman) A Monetary History of the United States, 1867-1960 (1963), says that Ben Bernanke is fighting the last war.
