Why Growing Income Inequality Is Bad for America
The CEO of the average company in the S&P Index makes $10.5 million. That means that on the first workday of the year, he (sometimes she) has made more than the minimum wage workers in his company will make all year.
Krugman Is Wrong: Why China Won't Revalue
With China now accounting for nearly $1 trillion of American debt, the U.S. can't simply insist that it do something about its currency and expect action. Geithner has been right in not publicly calling out China.
Palin vs. Krugman on the Dollar -- Who Is Right?
A falling, or "weak," dollar is great for American manufacturers. Conservatives, though, are trying to use the complexities of the relative value of the dollar in currency markets as an anti-Obama political issue.
The Big Dollar Bustout ... Is Too Big To Fail Still an Option?
With efforts to rebrand America's national identity in the electronic media falling flat like a bad online date, taking away the dollar's too big to fail status might be the better wake up call.
Advocating for a Weak Dollar Policy Is Like Throwing a Birthday Party for Osama Bin Laden?
What is "free trade"? What is "fair trade"? "Weak dollar" policy? "Strong dollar" policy? Most people don't know so conservatives can easily come in and label something as fair trade that isn't necessarily good for anyone.

The meeting got testy. Voices rose last Thursday among Democrats over differences in the Senate Finance and Health committee versions of insurance ref...
Will Obama Save America From Capitalism?
American-style capitalism is the system that gives you pilots buying groceries with food stamps and sheriffs throwing families out of their homes. President Obama, it's time for a "new" New Deal.
Jeffrey Sachs: US Policy Making Is a Bipartisan Failure, Failing to Even Acknowledge Environmental Challenges
Jeffrey Sachs pulled a fire alarm on the optimism on leadership in business and opportunities abroad with his perspectives on the bipartisan failure of US policy and the world's risk of ecological bankruptcy.
Why Fortune Loves Charlie Rose
A new profile of Charlie Rose is representative of a trend that seems to be growing: the sort of meta-, multi-platform story that has so many odd conflicts and strange connections that it makes you dizzy.
10 Pithy Observations About Boulder (Part Two)
Yoga studios proliferate. My stereotype of Boulder has had to change. Formerly it was a blonde mom driving a Land Rover and on her cell phone. Now: a 20-something carrying a yoga mat.

We're considering leaving millions of Americans without affordable insurance and missing our best chance to force the insurance companies to clean up their acts over 0.6% of what we'll spend anyway?
Key Senators, Krugman Call for Tariffs on High-Carbon-Footprint Imports
In the wake of the China tire-import decision, we have heard a lot of rhetoric falsely labeling it as the beginning of a trade war. It is not. Workers around the world are engaged in an effort to protect themselves.
Why, Oh Why, Do They Never Listen?
Let's not pretend Democratic health reform doesn't include new taxes -- and mandated fee payments to profitable private companies. If their bill passes in this form they'll pay a heavy political price for it. And they'll deserve it.
