Ramesh Ponnuru: "Hillary Clin=on can't keep her story straight. I'm not talking about her e-mail servers= She can't stick to a consistent line on the rather more central issue of =he U.S. economy. It is leading to odd tonal shifts in her campaign, and to=some foolish policy choices, too." Read more...

Health-Care Reform

The Editors: "A majority-Repu=lican Congress isn't eager either to make Obamacare work better or to give=CMS and the IRS the resources they need to root out false claims. In this =ase, however, lawmakers should make an exception. Preventing fraud shouldn=t be a partisan issue."

Regulation

Megan McArdle: "While virtual=y all economists can agree that rent control is a terrible idea, local pol=ticians may well think it's splendid. And you can sort of see their point.=The economists may well be right, but they don't have to get re-elected ev=ry few years." Read mo=e...

Financial Reform

Barry Ritholtz: "The causes o= the crisis are complex and developed over many years. But if you want to=hold a single elected official responsible for the collapse of American In=ernational Group -- if any one event could have taken down the entire fina=cial system, that was it -- it would have to be [former U.S. Senator Phil]=Gramm." Read more...

Science

Cass R. Sunstein: "Aggressive=efforts to cut red tape and simplify people's interactions with government=would save money, free up people’s time and make existing programs=more effective. Behavioral insights can make a major difference, the U.K. =as shown, and even BIT has only started to scratch the surface." Read more...

Europe

Barry Eichengreen, Peter T. Allen and Gary Evans:=/span> "Greece and the EU should contractually link changes i= the terms of the country's EU loans to milestones in structural reform. T=ink of the result as structural-reform-indexed (SRI) loans, akin to former=Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis's gross-domestic-product-indexed b=nds." Read more...=/span>

Economics

Clive Crook: "For decades aft=r 1970 -- contrary to one popular account -- labor incomes grew roughly in=line with productivity. Over the long haul, far from being irrelevant to w=ll-being, growth in productivity goes far to deciding how poor or prospero=s ordinary Americans will be." Read more...

Noah Smith: "After the great =merican housing bubble blew up in 2008, taking the financial system and th= economy with it, there was an often-bitter debate about the underlying ca=ses. Why had housing prices been driven to unsustainable heights in the fi=st place? Were Americans borrowing to overconsume, or were they just tryin= to make a quick buck? The answer matters because it will guide future pol=cy." Read more...<=span>

China

Adam Minter: "Most of the imp=diments to access to donated sperm would be lifted if the government opene= the system to private competition. China already has a thriving if unsavo=y black market in human sperm, and Chinese state media reports that Chines= women are increasingly making use of overseas sperm banks and IVF clinics= A system that was calibrated to Chinese sensitivities could meet the need= of millions of couples while providing Alibaba with a real opportunity."<=span> Read more...=/p>

Republicans

Albert R. Hunt: "[Arthur] Bro=ks celebrates and criticizes conservatism. He calls for a more people-cent=ic, optimistic approach that combines the moral values of work, family and=faith with the economic ones of free enterprise, entrepreneurialism and li=ited government. This is familiar stuff, except Brooks emphasizes what con=ervatives could do to help the poor break from a dependence on government.= Read more...

Europe

Leonid Bershidsky: "More Euro=eans distrust the key EU institutions -- the European Parliament, the Euro=ean Commission and the European Central Bank -- than trust them, according=to the Eurobarometer, the regular survey of EU public sentiment. Yet confi=ence in all three has been on the rise." Read more...
