Asia Times SPENGLER
Lehman and the end of the era of leverage The failure of Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns does not reflect the breakdown of a particular kind of corporate culture. What took both firms down, rather, is a sudden break in the chain of expectations between the present and the future. Today’s savers no longer have any confidence that they will earn enough to fund their retirements by putting money at risk. And so the Great Crash of 2008 enters a new phase.

Silences say it all Lehman Brothers' death throes demonstrated that here, at last, was one US financial institution that, though big, was not "too big to fail", one that at last would pay for its promiscuous and profligate ways. If we should say nothing but good of the dead, then there's nothing else to say. Next up for the measuring tape is Bank of America/Merrill. - Julian Delasantellis

Nathan Gardels: POST-OLYMPIC POWERSHIFT: THE RETURN OF 'SUPERIOR' CHINESE CIVILIZATION IN A POST-AMERICAN WORLD

’We’ve Underestimated The Threat, We’ve Reacted Far Too Slowly’ U.S. General David Petraeus will end 19 months as commanding general of the multinational force in Iraq and assume command of the U.S. military’s Central Command, which covers the Middle East and Central Asia, including Afghanistan. Will he be able to draw resources from a quieter Iraq to an increasingly violent Afghanistan? RFE/RL correspondent Andrew F. Tully posed this and other questions to Anthony Cordesman, a former U.S. intelligence analyst who specializes in global affairs at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

What they have said about Foreign Press Review
"FPR'ın iki "kötü" özelliği var: 1. Alışkanlık yaratıyor, onsuz yapamaz hale geliyorsunuz; 2. Değeri alındığı değil, arada bir de olsa, alınamadığı vakit anlaşılıyor. Bir de sürekli bir kaygıya yol açıyor; 'Ya bir gün kesilir ve onu hiç alamazsam' duygusuyla sürekli yaşamak kolay değil."

Cengiz Çandar


"... fantastic .... an outstanding and unique service, not just for those who follow Turkey closely, but those who follow international trends and ideas. ... selection of material is some of the best anywhere ... coverage of the Turkish press and Turkish issues is truly unsurpassed .... outstanding and intelligent service"
