Matt Levine: "The global fina=cial crisis of 2007-2008 has given rise to vast literatures of history, an=lysis and personal reminiscence. It's also been pretty good for judicial o=inions." Read more...=/a>

INVESTING

Barry Ritholtz: "How many fol=s can afford to spend almost $200 million on a Picasso or $150 million on = Giacometti? There are about 2,300 billionaires in the world. That pretty =uch defines the size of the market for these sorts of collectibles. That m=ans these record-breaking art auctions may say something about the rarefie= world occupied by the super-rich, but their informational value is of lit=le importance to market sentiment." Read more...

U.K.

Matt Qvortrup: "British Prime=Minister David Cameron's election upset is being compared to the Conservat=ve Party's even more stunning victory in 1992." The better comparison woul= be Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson in 1974. "Not only did Wilson win =hat vote, he also put the U.K.'s Europe question to bed for a decade or mo=e." Read more...<=span>

UKRAINE CRISIS

Leonid Bershidsky: "For Ukrai=e itself, the role of a pawn for bigger players may be somewhat humiliatin=, but it shouldn't be. ... Not being a player in the big strategic game is=even, perhaps, to Ukraine's advantage: Once it realizes it can have little=effect on the outcome, it can concentrate on solving its internal problems=" Read more...<=span>

ECONOMICS

Ramesh Ponnuru: "Elizabeth Wa=ren's arguments 'don't stand the test of fact and scrutiny.' The Democrati= senator is 'absolutely wrong.' She's being 'a politician like everybody e=se.' So says President Barack Obama, who sounds like he's surprised to lea=n these things." Read=more...

ASIAN ECONOMY

William Pesek: Australian Pri=e Minister Tony Abbott's so-called Google tax "aims to stop multinational =orporations from diverting the profits they earn in Australia to low-tax j=risdictions. It's a sound plan, especially at a time when Australia's debt=is rising faster than the euro zone's -- but only so long as Abbott also p=ts the screws on domestic companies." =a href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/55086a4c3b35d051538c37cc2lixo=153u/VVKeNEmOfN1NGTwOBfd79" style="text-decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;li=e-height:1.6em">Read more...

RETIREMENT

Megan McArdle: "What do state= owe workers? That's a question we're going to be asking a lot as states w=estle with growing pension obligations that weren't properly funded." Read more...

TECH

Katie Benner: Many analysts a=d competitors thought Marc Benioff was crazy when he founded Salesforce in=1999 "with the notion that companies would want to use software as subscri=ers rather than as owners. It’s now clear that he was right. The f=rtunes of giants like Microsoft, IBM and Oracle will rise or fall on their=ability to be more like Salesforce." <= href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/55086a4c3b35d051538c37cc2lixo.=53u/VVKeNEmOfN1NGTwQBc36d" style="text-decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;lin=-height:1.6em">Read more...

Justin Fox: "Verizon is payin= $4.4 billion for AOL. That kind of money will buy you, I dunno, one-fifth=of a messaging startup. Or about one-fortieth of the AOL that merged with =ime Warner in 2000." =ead more...

LAW

Noah Feldman: Republican pres=dential candidate Ben Carson seemed inclined in recent comments to "make t=e radical argument that the president need not obey the Supreme Court's in=erpretation of federal law -- and maybe of the Constitution, either. These=views are wrong and dangerous." Read more...

2016 ELECTIONS

Jonathan Bernstein: "Hillary =linton appears to be on track to set a modern record in this presidential =ycle. Unless Jeb Bush does it instead. The category is: longest gap for a =residential nominee since the last time he or she appeared on a ballot." Read more...=/p>

EDUCATION

Francis Barry: "A successful =areer does not a great teacher make, and it’s reasonable to requir= professional development work for those without traditional qualification=. ... But rather than making it easier to fire bad teachers, states are ma=ing it harder to hire good ones." Read more...
