Share the View -- Bloomberg View

A Quick Look at Bloomberg News's Opinion Section for May 14, 2012

PETER BOONE and SIMON JOHNSON: Can the euro be saved? Not likely. As
austerity measures fail, the European Central Bank will come under
pressure to take actions that create inflation, which will weaken the
euro. European leaders should prepare for an “orderly dismantling of
the euro before the damage spreads and further undermines European
unity.” [Link]

EDWARD CONARD: “Pundits often wonder why median wages have failed to
rise in proportion to increased levels of productivity, as they have in
the past. The answer is obvious: The median wage is the highest wage of
the lowest 50 percent of workers, and productivity growth has occurred
predominantly at the top of the wage scale.” [Link]

AARON MILLER: In Syria, President Obama should “avoid half-baked
measures, such as the safe-zones scheme, that can lead to an open-ended
military commitment without accomplishing the intended results.”

RACHELLE BERGSTEIN: Salvatore Ferragamo, who added arch support to
shoes and invented the wedge, became the first Italian shoe designer to
export and sell shoes internationally. His story is the first in our
five-part excerpt of "Women from the Ankle Down: Shoes and How They
Define Us." [Link]

THE EDITORS: JPMorgan Chase's $2 billion trading loss is another
advertisement for the Volcker rule. The final rule should “require
banks to put stricter boundaries around trading activity with a risk
profile that includes estimates of losses under various worst-case
scenarios.” [Link] And THE EDITORS want to make sure that the money
the U.S. donates abroad actually accomplishes some good. Randomized
trials “can help sort promising projects from truly effective ones in a
variety of fields.” [Link]
