Ryan Cooper, The Week Is big business blasé about Republican attacks on democracy? |
Paul Kupiec, The Hill The Fed argues that our current "transitory inflation" is nothing to worry about as they keep open the monetary spigots. |
Market Minder, Fisher Investments The bull market is more robust than many claim. |
Kevin McGee, RealClearMarkets A 4.15% inflation rate! Do we need to slam on the breaks before our life savings dwindle to nothing? Chill out: we don't need to panic. That big headline number is mostly an artifice of how the inflation rate is typically reported, and absolutely nothing more. |
Rachel Hartman, U.S. News The tax implications, among other things. |
M. Todd Henderson & Lyle Roberts, The Hill The problem with codifying existing insider trading law is that it is a mess. |
Jeffrey Snider, RealClearMarkets We have seen the enemy, and he is us. Oliver Hazard Perry, of course, had first used the line "we have met the enemy, and he is ours" during the War of 1812 after a shocking and wonderful defeat of the British Navy by the shores of Lake Erie. The other has become more famous, if only due its more satiric and nihilistic viewpoint at home in recent generations. The enemy, in the modern formulation, is rampaging capitalism destroying the environment (the parody phrase born from a cartoon celebrating instead the original Earth Day in 1970). But what happens if - or when, according to Marxists -... |
Dean Baker, New York Times Hint: The employment figures only tell part of the story. |
Michael Schwartz, The Examiner For over four decades, I have traversed the length and breadth of the U.S. energy industry.

P.J. O'Rourke, John Tamny, American Consequences The Wuhan-lab leak theory refocuses the pandemic narrative, scapegoating China while letting Fauci and Congress shirk responsibility. |
Daniel Alpert, NY Times There's no true "labor shortage." Just bad jobs. |
Harold James, PS Economic horror stories from the Great Depression and the 1970s can offer useful lessons, but they are no longer appropriate for today's world. In a world undergoing radical economic, technological, and climatic change, we must recognize that not all price increases are the same, and that some are desirable – and even necessary. |
