Justin Fox: "This question of=whether an Uber driver is an employee doesn't matter just to Uber. ... Whi=e legal wrangling over these matters is not at all new, it has really heat=d up during the past six years. That’s partly because the Obama ad=inistration has been much more interested in the subject than the Bush adm=nistration was. But it’s also because such semi-independent work a=rangements seem to be on the rise." Read more...

Europe

Clive Crook: "If your patience with =he euro-shambles over Greece is wearing thin, I understand. Nonetheless I =ant to draw your attention to two new articles on the subject. They're bri=f and well worth your time. The first tells you all you need to know about=how Europe got to this point. The second tells you all you need to know ab=ut what ought to happen next."

Economics

Noah Smith: "'It works in pra=tice, but does it work in theory?' This joke is so commonly applied to eco=omists that no one even knows who said it originally. The idea fits with t=e stereotype of economists as out-of-touch theory-obsessed philosophers, w=sting time arguing about what would happen in a made-up world of their own=devising. Whether this stereotype was ever true, it certainly isn’= true today." Read mo=e...
