Here’s a list of articles that I have been reading today (organized by topic):
Economics
- Krugman to the Rescue, by Steve Landsburg
Financial Crisis
- Why No One Expects a Strong Recovery, by Jeb Hensarling and Paul Ryan
“When you repeal sound economic policies you repeal their results.”
Law
- Travesty in New York, by Charles Krauthammer
“For late-19th-century anarchists, terrorism was the “propaganda of the deed.” And the most successful propaganda-by-deed in history was 9/11 — not just the most destructive, but the most spectacular and telegenic.”
Politics
- Help Wanted, by Kim Strassel
“The Democratic Party seeks a wildly optimistic individual to oversee a national jobs-creation program.”
- Medicalizing mass murder, by Charles Krauthammer
“What a surprise — that someone who shouts “Allahu Akbar” (the “God is great” jihadist battle cry) as he is shooting up a room of American soldiers might have Islamist motives. It certainly was a surprise to the mainstream media, which spent the weekend after the Fort Hood massacre playing down Nidal Hasan’s religious beliefs.”
Religion
- The China President Obama Didn’t See, by Leslie Hook
“Dissident intellectuals have been attracted to Christianity.”
