Justin Fox: "Compared to thes= other, more dynamic economies, Latin America seems to have been making ha=dly any progress. I’m not even going to try to go into all the pos=ible reasons for this, in part because they vary greatly among countries. = am willing to go out on a limb and say that I don’t think either =.S. imperialism or persistent bad luck is a satisfactory explanation for L=tin America’s slow growth. Clearly these -- with the possible exce=tion of Chile -- have not been among the world’s best-managed econ=mies. And that really is too bad." Read more...<=span>

China

Leonid Bershidsky: "Until ver= recently, large exposure to China was seen as an advantage, a toehold in =he market of the future. Now it's seen as a risk, and some of the world's =ost advanced companies seem to be on the losing side of a huge bet."Read more...

Canada

Christopher Flavelle: "Tuesda='s announcement that Canada's economy shrank for the first two quarters of=2015, putting the country into a technical recession, puts a little more s=rain on the ruling Conservative Party's claim of sound economic management= the core of its campaign for next month's federal election. What's more i=teresting is how long the party has been able to hang on to that mantle."<=span> Read more...

Immigration

Francis Wilkinson: "The famil= of Kathryn Steinle -- who was killed in San Francisco in July -- announce= yesterday that it is suing San Francisco Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, Immigrat=on and Customs Enforcement and another federal agency, blaming them for th= woman's death. If there were a way to sue the entire U.S. immigration enf=rcement system, the family would probably be justified. But the system has=been so fractured that no single institution seems accountable." Read more...

Law

Noah Feldman: "Think affirmat=ve action is controversial in the U.S.? The American debate is nothing com=ared with the fight over caste-based preferences in India, where police sm=shed heads in the aftermath of last week's 500,000 strong anti-preference =ally in Gujarat." Read more...

Education

Virginia Postrel: "The pain a=d struggles that generate so much public fretting are real. But unless eli=e schools start reserving a quarter of their slots for the unmotivated or =nqualified, they’re also unavoidable. Wanting to excel is not a ch=racter flaw, and shouldn’t be treated as one in the guise of conce=n for students’ mental health. Ambitious students deserve the same=respect we accord ambitious athletes." Read more...<=p>
