Robert Skidelsky & Edward Skidelsky | Chronicle Review | 18 June 2012 Resuscitating economics as a moral science. "Let us imagine that everyone has enough to lead a good life. What is the good life? And what is it not? And what changes in our moral and economic system are needed to realise it?" Comments Anne-Marie Slaughter | Atlantic | 21 June 2012 "Women of my generation have clung to the feminist credo we were raised with, that we can 'have it all'. But my experience has forced me to confront some uncomfortable facts that need to be widely acknowledged—and quickly changed" Comments Ezra Klein | New Yorker | 18 June 2012 How was it that a legal argument that was considered fringe in 2010 could become mainstream by 2012? It happened with the individual mandate in US healthcare. Here's how and why it happened, and could happen again Comments Natasha Vargas-Cooper | Spin | 14 June 2012 Will bath salts become the next devastating drug epidemic – like crack in the 1980s? "With LSD, you might see pink elephants, but with this drug, you see demons, aliens, extreme paranoia, heart attacks, and superhuman strength" Comments Fiona Ehlers et al | Spiegel | 15 June 2012 Joseph Ratzinger turned 85 in April, the oldest Pope in more than a century. He's having trouble speaking, let alone moving. And all around him, by this account, the Vatican is in turmoil. The fight for the succession is under way Comments Aatish Bhatia | Empirical Zeal | 5 June 2012 Our perceptions of colour are dictated at least partly by the names that our languages assign to those colours. Japanese used to have one word for both green and blue. As a result, Japanese often call green traffic lights "blue" Comments Alessandra Galloni | WSJ | 15 June 2012 "Family has long been the glue of Southern European society, and intergenerational help has deep historical and religious roots." It's a crucial invisible safety net for the young of Italy, Spain. But one which is now under threat Comments Hannah Bloch | National Geographic | 18 June 2012 We think we know the story. Polynesian settlers arrived in 800, built statues, cut down forests. Soil erosion ruined the land. Society collapsed into war, poverty, cannibalism. But what if it wasn't like that at all?
