Justin Fox: "[Wal-Mart Chief =xecutive Officer Doug] McMillon wishes to convince us that it’s 19=6 all over again. It’s clearly not 1996 -- Wal-Mart is now the big=est corporation in the world by revenue, making it ever tougher to achieve=high growth rates; one of its fiercest competitors today, Amazon.com, bare=y existed back then. Still, it would be awfully nice for low-wage workers =cross America if he turns out to be at least partly right." Read more...

Wall Street

Matt Levine: "It is hard not =o feel bad for BNY. Who among us has not given our clients' semi-competent=relatives jobs in exchange for business?" Read more...=/a>

Asian Economy

William Pesek: "If you think =ederal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is stressed, spare a thought for Agus Ma=towardojo. On Tuesday, the governor of Indonesia's central bank had to cho=se between cutting interest rates to support growth or hiking them to prop=up his currency. He ultimately decided to split the difference and do noth=ng. Martowardojo's dilemma is emblematic of the increasingly chaotic situa=ion in the world's emerging markets." =a href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/click/4973701.14427/aHR0cDovL=d3dy5ibG9vbWJlcmd2aWV3LmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlcy8yMDE1LTA4LTE4L2VtZXJnaW5nLWFzaWEt=2FuLXQtanVzdC1yZWx5LW9uLWNoaW5h/55086a4c3b35d051538c37ccBfc1991a3" style=3D"text-decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;line-height:1.6em">Read more...<=span>

Health-Care Reform

Megan McArdle: "There are a l=t of ways this could play out, but the Republican proposals for a post-Oba=acare world sketch a very plausible one: Republicans become the party of u=iversal, but lean, benefits that won't be enough to lift people out of pov=rty, while Democrats become the party of generous benefits for the poor, r=distributing money and benefits downwards from the middle class while payi=g lip service to middle-class problems. Who wins that debate will tell us = lot about what kind of government we'll have in 50 years." Read more...

Sports

The Editors: "Students who at=end college on athletic scholarships -- whether for football, bass fishing=or any other sport -- have made a commitment to their schools. The best wa= for colleges to honor that commitment is to show at least as much interes= in educating those students as they did in recruiting them." Read more...

Immigration

Francis Wilkinson: "Avoiding = real conversation on immigration is exactly what created the opening for =Donald] Trump, whose new leadership role seems unlikely to go well for the=party. Instead, the two sides of the Republican immigration war should con=ront the issue directly. If they did, I imagine it would sound something l=ke this." Read more...

Greece

Leonid Bershidsky: "The debat= about the third Greek bailout centers on its political divisiveness and t=e sustainability of the country's debt. More important, however, may be th= country's ability to stay any kind of rational economic course, implement=reforms and collect taxes. Judging by recent government revenue statistics= the chances of achieving those goals remain remote."

2016 Elections

Albert R. Hunt: "Ted Cruz is = man with a plan. The Republican presidential candidate, bete noire of his=party's establishment, has carefully calculated a path to becoming the rig=t-wing standard-bearer. That makes him the most underestimated candidate i= the field." Read more...

Environment

Adam Minter: "Austin deserves=to be commended for its candid assessment of what its plastic bag ban has =ctually accomplished; it's probably not the only city where a ban has prod=ced unintended environmental consequences. That shouldn't deter the scores=of other cities in the U.S. and elsewhere considering their own plastic ba= bans. But it should encourage a more thorough and realistic assessment of=what such a ban can actually accomplish." Read more...

Politics

Jonathan Bernstein: "Whether =he protest politics of Black Lives Matter is an effective way to challenge=party priorities is an open question (though it’s certainly better=than running a stunt presidential campaign). It’s a good reminder =o the rest of us to think of the nomination contest as a party story." Read more...

Middle East

Daniel Gordis: "One of the mo=t meteoric figures in Israeli politics soared higher on Friday, when the p=ime minister promoted Danny Danon from minister of science to be Israel�=80�s ambassador to the United Nations. The question is why." Read more...
