Mohamed A. El-Erian: "Last we=k served as an important reminder that the more things seem to change, the=more they stay the same. The first reminder came from the U.S. Federal Res=rve when it removed the word 'patient' from its forward guidance and opene= the door for an interest-rate hike this summer. But it also accompanied t=is significant change with further 'linguistic gymnastics' to counter any =egative market reaction." Read more...

INVESTING

Barry Ritholtz: We've reached=the Sweet 16 of March Madness. "As is my wont, I seek out lessons in what = see, hunting for parallels in sports, politics, et al. to the world of in=esting and trading. In college basketball, the similarities are overwhelmi=g: The parade of upsets has already given rise to many lessons that might =o overlooked, but for your scribe’s eagle-eyed observations." Read more...

MILITARY

The Editors: "Like all debate= based on congressional budgets, last week's argument over military spendi=g was mostly symbolic. At the same time, this wasn't just the usual Republ=can infighting over dismantling Obamacare or paying the government's bills= The party is actually in a position to set some budget priorities for the=Pentagon -- if only its members can agree on what they are." Read more...

ASIAN ECONOMY

William Pesek: "With the gap =etween haves and have-nots widening and citizens turning against the open =mmigration policies Singapore long embraced, the Southeast Asian city-stat= is facing stark questions about its identity." Read more...

WORK

Megan McArdle: "We can't expe=t a return to the robust wage growth that followed the Great Depression an= World War II -- or even the go-go days of the 1990s. Which is why, as I s=y, unions are dying. At this point, it's unlikely that anything can revive=them." Read more...

POLITICS

Jeanne Cummings: "Campaign fi=ance reformers often blame the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United=for opening the financial floodgates, enabling big donors to remain anonym=us even as they increase their funding of political causes. Now, Citizens =nited may be the catalyst for something else -- increased disclosure of po=itical funding by American corporations." Read more...

2016 ELECTIONS

The Editors: "Most Americans =ant a third party, which probably explains why leaders of the Democratic a=d Republican parties have conspired for the past three decades to exclude =hird-party candidates from the presidential debates." Read more...

LAW

Noah Feldman: "The personaliz=d license plate is as American as … well, ever seen one in any oth=r country? Today, not for the first time, the U.S. Supreme Court takes up =he equally quirky American question of free speech in the license plate co=text." Read more...

EUROPE

Leonid Bershidsky: "Anyone ho=ing that the political establishment in major European nations may soon be=toppled -- anyone such as Russian President Vladimir Putin -- should note =he resilience and fighting spirit of traditional parties: They are far fro= finished." Read more.=.
