In response to an environmental press release, urging developed nations to just be less wealthy in the future, Warren Meyer of Coyote Blog has an excellent response.

Jeb Hensarling and Paul Ryan: One of the strongest factors promoting recovery from our 10 post-World War II recessions was an unshakable conviction that, regardless of the immediate trouble, the American economy is fundamentally strong. Based on this underlying confidence, recessions and recoveries roughly conformed to the principle of the bigger the bust, the bigger the boom, and vice versa. Thus...

Banks should step up their lending to support economic growth while taking steps to curb "undue" bonuses, European Central Bank head Jean-Claude Trichet said Friday. "Profits earned should be used -- as priority -- to build capital and reserves, rather than to be paid out as dividends or undue compensation," Trichet told a banking conference here.

Honestly, we're not sure how an economy that's been in a near-constant deflationary slide since the early 90s can ever have a double-dip recession. Octuple-dip sounds more like it. But, Japanese leaders are out with a fresh warning that deflation is still causing new problems, and that despite some recent good economic growth (though we flagged it for being deflationary, mainly) a backslide is still...

This article draws attention to a thesis put forward by Swaminathan Aiyar, a right-wing economist, that Indian economic growth would have been far more rapid and had human development benefits if it had moved to "liberalise" its economy earlier. Counterfactuals are always difficult to prove or disprove, but I would point out that the economic growth enjoyed by South Korea and Taiwan since...
