Michael Sandel | Boston Review | 21 May 2012 Sandel considers where economic markets belong. "Suppose, on your wedding day, your best man delivers a heartwarming toast, a speech so moving it brings tears to your eyes. You later learn that he bought it online. Would you care?" Comments Matthieu Aikins | Wired | 18 May 2012 Fascinating report. "Today, with Gadhafi dead and a provisional government of former rebels in charge, we can begin to uncover the secret, high tech spying machine that helped the dictator and his regime cling to power" Comments Robert Skidelsky | Project Syndicate | 21 May 2012 "The sensible question is not whether China will replace the US, but whether it will start to acquire some of the attributes of a world power, particularly a sense of responsibility for global order." And this has no clear answer Comments Charles Ferguson | Guardian | 20 May 2012 The Obama government has rationalised its failure to prosecute anyone (literally, anyone at all) for bubble-related crimes by saying that while much of Wall St's behaviour was unwise or unethical, it wasn't illegal.

The French are so fond of long, rambling sentences that when you use a French keyboard, you have to press the shift key to get a full stop — yet the semi-colon is right there" ($) Comments Barry Bearak | NYT | 20 May 2012 On the life and death of Micah True, ultrarunner known as Caballo Blanco, or White Horse. Free spirit who lived in remote canyons of northern Mexico. Ran in sandals. Vanished while running in wilderness he knew so well Comments |
