Matt Levine: Read more...

Mohamed A. El-Erian: "Some co=mentators have rushed to describe the recent global stock market turmoil a= 'historic' and 'unprecedented,' yet its evolution has been quite traditio=al so far. What may be different this time, however, is whether longer-ter= stability can be restored with the policy tools that were available in th= past." Read more...

Megan McArdle: "Are you plann=ng to retire tomorrow? I don't mean 'soon.' I mean, are you planning to re=ire on Aug. 25, 2015? Because if not, there's no reason for you to be look=ng at the day-to-day movements in your 401(k). You probably lost a lot of =oney in the last week. And you know what you can do about that? Nothing."<=span> =ead more...

Justin Fox: "Stock prices fel= this morning because if they didn’t, markets wouldn’t wor=. Thanks, stock prices!" Read more...

Asian Economy

William Pesek: "Chinese excha=ge-rate officials probably have a thing or two to say about trade-offs. Si=ce its surprise devaluation on Aug. 11, Beijing has been struggling to kee= the yuan from outright freefall. Yesterday, Shanghai stocks tumbled a fur=her 8.5 percent. China perfectly encapsulates Purisima's point: The short =erm benefits of a weaker currency pale in comparison to the costs. If Asia= policy makers are feeling any lingering doubt, here are four further reas=ns they should resist the urge to devalue." Read more...<=a>

2016 Elections

Clive Crook: "One of Washingt=n's working assumptions is that it doesn't matter how little the governmen= actually achieves or how far Congress and the White House sink in popular=esteem. ... At some point, perhaps, voters may decide enough is enough and=do something rash. It may not be Trump, but others will come along. Meanti=e, if nothing else, The Donald has called Washington's limitless complacen=y into question." Read more...

Albert R. Hunt: "If Joe Biden=was trying to unsettle Hillary Clinton by meeting with Elizabeth Warren ov=r the weekend, here’s a way to really rattle her: pick the Massach=setts Senator as his presidential running mate and announce it now."Read more...

Terrorism

Marc Champion: "Europe's medi= is still abuzz with the extraordinary story of three Americans who tackle= a suspected terrorist on Friday on a train in Northern France. The questi=n being asked is this: Were they displaying a distinctly American can-do s=irit? That's probably inevitable, but a better question would be: Should W=stern countries consider reintroducing compulsory military service to spre=d some can-do spirit around?" Read more...

Tech

Leonid Bershidsky: "The stock= of most big tech companies are down 10 to 15 percent this month, but the =rasure of 13 percent of Apple's market capitalization may make the most se=se. If China has awakened the bears, Apple, whose dependence on that marke= has increased significantly in recent years, is prime bear bait." =span class="topic-read-more" style="font-family:Arial, sans-serif;text=decoration:none;color:#00b9e7;font-weight:normal;font-size:17px;line-heigh=:1.6em;text-transform:none">Read more...

Law

Noah Feldman: "Seven states h=ve laws banning abortion aimed at selecting the sex of a child. These laws=are arguably constitutional, and haven’t been struck down by the c=urts. The argument in favor of those laws is that the state has a compelli=g interest in combating sex discrimination. It seems possible that counter=ng discrimination against those with Down syndrome is a compelling interes= on par with combating discrimination against women." Read more...

Latin America

Mac Margolis: "Since not even=the most stalwart of nationalists can vouch for a corresponding surge in t=e efficiency of the overstretched Bolivian police, it's reasonable to conc=ude that the nation's drug problem is getting worse." Read more...

Sports

Kavitha A. Davidson: "Major L=ague Baseball has a sweeping new policy for disciplining players involved =n investigations of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. ...=While it's promising that MLB is set on taking such behavior much more ser=ously, hoping to avoid the kind of outcry we saw against the NFL last year= the effectiveness of the new policy heavily relies on the hope that Commi=sioner Rob Manfred can avoid turning into his NFL counterpart, Roger Goode=l."
