SPENGLER Gambling, growth and imagination
Paul Krugman this week won the Nobel Prize in economics for his "analysis of trade patterns and location of economic activity". Reuven Brenner would have been a more deserving winner.

Necessity pushes out principles

It is not just the financial markets that have shifted radically in the three weeks since the original $700bn bail-out plan was driven through a reluctant Congress. The politics surrounding it have moved as well.

Keynes rises above dissent Whether it is Barack Obama proposing a $170bn stimulus package, his colleagues in Congress upping that number to $300bn, or a Republican administration taking equity in the private banking sector, the ideology of what George Soros calls “market fundamentalism” is, at least temporarily, ceding ground to Keynes

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."
