Pakistan's Moral-Hazard Economy - Project Syndicate

[Project Syndicate] These promises and pledges underscore Islamabad’s growing dependence on foreign assistance, which is not surprising, given that Pakistan’s tax-to-GDP ratio has declined to less than 9%, the lowest among the 22 largest emerging economies. They also suggest the continuance of a sort of moral-hazard approach to economic management that ensures foreign help whenever the country drives itself to the edge of an abyss.

[CJR] But Sides is also right when he says that Kuhn’s reading of Krugman and Klein “is unnecessarily uncharitable.” I wouldn’t argue, as I think Sides does, that for strategic reasons they should feel free to overstate the case; columnists and bloggers (present company included) should be precise with their prose and their analysis, and should be held to account when they aren’t.

[Left Foot Forward] The Government’s ideological decision to renege on support for Forgemasters in Sheffield triggered anger but also bewilderment among people I know in Yorkshire.

[FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right] Because Barone is so good and so right (wing), many attack his analysis largely because they cannot understand it, but the opposition to Obama and the Dems and big government comes right out of the Scots-Irish immigrant roots of these people and the genetic grit and self-determination that still informs their DNA and their sensibilities. Believe it or not, but there are many, many people who don’t see the government forcing them to buy even subsidized healthcare as a government benefit but a huge intrusion in their lives.

[DailyFinance] Therefore, with the United States having registered a period of enormous wealth creation concentrated in the upper 1% of society, with inflation and interests rates both low, and with too few Americans earning enough disposable income to spend in ways that would promote GDP growth and new jobs the nation needs, the federal government's policy focus should be clear: Public policies should be implemented to increase demand.

Hot Air » Shocker: Yet another Obama “green economy” fail

[Hot Air » Top Picks] Now, it’s not as if the collapse of Fannie and Freddie was some arcane event only known by a few industry insiders, and not as though the MBS market somehow strengthened so much over the last couple of years that inducing more risk makes any sense at all. After the disastrous results of previous government intervention with Fannie and Freddie and the poisonous effects of toxic MBS assets, the only efforts the government should be making in regard to Fannie and Freddie is extricating them from lending risk, not doubling down on it. At the very least, one might have presumed that someone in the Obama administration might have researched the issue of senior positioning of PACE creditors and the impact it might have on the troubled GSEs.

[The Big Picture] Although European stock markets all traded off into their close, southern European sovereign debt all closed at or near their highs of the day. Coincident with the bounce in the euro, the drop in yields follow the ECB credit facility that saw less than expected borrowing, some beginning of the Q buying in response to the sharp spike in yields over the past few weeks and the belief that the market demand for budget/debt discipline is being heeded notwithstanding the short term (1-2 yrs) economic pain that may result.
