Matt Levine: The stock market="has a long and charming tradition of needlessly complicated scams, where =he basic process -- you give me money, I steal it -- is dressed up in mult=ple layers of storytelling designed to prey both on people's hopes and als= on vulnerabilities in regulation." Read more...

TAXES

Barry Ritholtz: Cutting taxes=is often sold as a way to stimulate the economy at little or no cost to go=ernment revenue. It doesn't work. Read more...

REAL ESTATE

Megan McArdle: "We need space=for people to live, grow families, build lives. The more costly we make it=to build those spaces, the less of it we will get." Read more...

ENTERTAINMENT

Justin Fox: "In the 2006 busi=ess bestseller 'The Long Tail,' author Chris Anderson depicted DVD-rental =ervice Netflix as the poster child for the idea he was trying (quite succe=sfully) to popularize. ... Funny thing about Netflix, though. It’s=doing quite well these days, as one might have expected after reading Ande=son’s book. But its success doesn’t have much to do with t=e long tail."

With a little help from the central bank, the country's recession might =ot be as bad as previously thought." <= href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/55086a4c3b35d051538c37cc2i8t4.=63/VTGMlkmOq444S0fNB0213" style="text-decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;line=height:1.6em">Read more...

ASIA

William Pesek: "As officials =ather in Washington for the spring meetings of the International Monetary =und and World Bank, it's fair to wonder what countries like India, China a=d Indonesia would do if they had the influence in those institutions that =hey desire. Here are three areas where emerging economies, drawing on thei= own experiences, would probably handle things differently." Read more...

CULTURE

McArdle: "Why do we have sham=? It's a pretty deeply wired emotion, after all; almost everyone gossips, =nd almost everyone hates to feel ashamed. ... On the Internet, when all t=e social context is stripped away and you don't even have to look at the f=ce of the person you're being mean to, shame loses its social, restorative=function. Shame-storming isn't punishment. It's a weapon." Read more...
