Matt Levine: "I've said befor= that the line between what sorts of sharp bond-trading practice are allow=d, and what sorts are illegal, seems to be drawn mostly by market practice=and custom. If you lie about things that everyone lies about, then no one =s deceived, or at least not materially deceived. If you lie about things t=at everyone is honest about, then you upset expectations and create proble=s. This is obviously not something that prosecutors want to hear." =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...

U.K.

Marc Champion: "Deep down, mo=t people understand that constitutional monarchy is an anachronism, offens=ve to the democratic values and meritocracy that most Britons would surely=like their country to represent. One day, a less savvy and self-discipline= monarch than [Queen] Elizabeth [II] (there are plenty of candidates in th= family) may destroy the brand, which by this time is all that the monarch= has to offer. And once that happens, it may go. For now, though, Brand Ro=als is strong. The fury of some republicans seems like special pleading at=the failure of the left to dominate British politics, as seems to them the=natural order in a world with more poor people than rich ones."

Declassified

Eli Lake and Josh Rogin: "Bot= front-runners in the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton and Donald T=ump, are scheduled to give major speeches on the Iran agreement in Washing=on on Wednesday. The candidates differ on the deal and how Congress should=vote, but each is expected to argue that Iran must be confronted and conta=ned after the agreement survives a coming Congressional challenge. Clinton= according to a senior campaign official, will unveil a plan spelling out =ow she intends to enforce the complex provisions of the Iran deal and how =he will orchestrate a strategy to push back against Iran's support for ter=orism and destabilization of the Middle East."

Economics

Noah Smith: "For all the alar= about the 'rise of the robots,' or 'software eating the world' or the per=l of climate change, one of the most pressing economic dangers of the futu=e is getting short shrift: Landlords are eating the world." Read more...

Megan McArdle: "'Mr. Robot' i= about hackers -- and technical folks have given the show kudos for basica=ly sticking to things that are actually possible, and giving some screen t=me to a technical discussion of how it might be accomplished. There are no=twee scenes where someone types for three seconds and -- whee! -- they hav= instant access to your school records, your bank records, and the last 5,=00 e-mails you sent. But this is not just a show about cybersecurity; it's=also a show about business and economics." Read=more...

Europe

Pankaj Mishra: "'Europe�=99s biggest migration emergency since the Second World War' -- that�=99s how most British newspapers described a massive influx of Syrian refug=es last week. The accompanying stories criticized the callous response of =olitical classes in the U.K. and Eastern Europe to the unfolding tragedy. =ven sensationalist British tabloids that had previously blurred the distin=tion between economic immigrants and refugees fleeing war and persecution =ook up the self-righteous cry. In addition to its hypocrisy, the headline =s notable for its sheer historical illiteracy." Read more...

2016 Elections

Jonathan Bernstein: "How vote=s feel about Barack Obama is probably more important to the outcome of the=2016 presidential election than anything the candidates to succeed him say=or do. That means it's worth asking this question: Why are his approval ra=ings so flat?" Read more...

Cass R. Sunstein: "Life isn't=a Frank Capra movie, and it's tempting to be cynical about what [Larry] Le=sig is trying to do. Has any serious presidential candidate ever run on ju=t one issue -- and promised to resign after addressing it?" Rea= more...

Military

Peter R. Orszag: "Our nation =wes much to our military, but it's no reward to subsidize or otherwise enc=urage smoking -- a habit that impairs operational performance and health. =he military, like the rest of the country, needs to continue making solid =rogress toward quitting." Read more...

Sports

Henry Bienen: "What is lost i= the fog of legal cases and discussions about 'Big Time' athletics�=99 future is what the universities would do should unionization occur or, =ore generally, should a 'pay to play' model come into effect. I suggest th=t most, if not all of the private universities who participate in the so-c=lled Power Five conferences -- the Big Ten; ACC; SEC; Pac-12; and Big Twel=e -- would opt out of the model."

Masters in Business

Barry Ritholtz: "This week in=our Masters in Business, we chat with Harry Shearer who has variously acte= in, written for and done voice over for 'The Simpsons,' 'This Is Spinal T=p' and 'Saturday Night Live.' Perhaps best known for the many characters h= gives life to on 'The Simpsons' for the past 26 years, Shearer discusses =he economics of voice actors on 'an outrageously successful show.'"=Listen...
