Brad Brooks: "Let's end the e=a of the 'Greenspan put' and Bernanke's quantitative easing, and return to=basics. The Fed should raise rates 0.25 percent this September and 0.50 pe=cent thereafter. Already this century, the Fed has helped enable two bubbl=s that resulted in equity corrections of 40 percent and 50 percent. Invest=rs would be wise to remember that if the Fed doesn't raise rates now." Read more...

U.K.

Mark Gilbert: "Putting Britis= politicians back in charge of monetary policy should frighten the horses =ufficiently for prices to start rising as investors anticipate a spending =ree-for-all typical of vote-chasing governments. Joking aside, though, it =ay turn out that the answer to avoiding deflation does indeed lie with gov=rnments, not central banks."

Tech

The Editors: Alarmed by big t=chnology companies' efforts to encrypt their devices and services, U.S. in=elligence officials want them to create special keys or "back doors" that =ould enable the government, with a warrant, to access encrypted data when =nvestigating terrorists and other criminals. On the surface, this seems re=sonable. But dig a little deeper and it's clear that the risks of such an =ffort would substantially outweigh the potential benefits. Read more...

Work

Justin Fox: "It used to be th=t the [United Auto Workers'] primary goal was to get as much out of the De=roit Three as possible. That’s still a goal, but it’s a se=ondary one. The primary goal now seems to be making sure all three stay al=ve." Read more...

Asia

William Pesek: "Unlike Japan,=Australia isn't suffering from deflation and demographic blight. But its l=aders, too, are guilty of not moving fast enough to adjust to a changing e=onomic reality." Read more...

Economics

Noah Smith: "It has become fa=hionable to compare every financial asset, asset manager or investor to an=index of U.S. stocks. For example, many people compare hedge funds to the =tandard & Poor's 500 Index. We saw this recently as people discussed wheth=r Donald Trump’s business career has been more successful than an =nvestment in the S&P 500. ... But actually, very few comparisons with the =ndex are apples-to-apples." Read mor=...

Europe

Leonid Bershidsky: "The Frenc= satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo has become obsessed with Aylan Kurdi, the =rowned Syrian toddler who became a symbol of Europe's refugee crisis. It c=me as a shock to many people who supported the publication after it was at=acked by terrorists this year, and the social networks are filled with ind=gnation. It's still the same Charlie, though, and it's doing a great job."=/span> Read more...

Gilbert: "Otmar Issing, one o= the original draftsmen of European Monetary Union and the first chief eco=omist of the European Central Bank, is worried that the current guardians =f the project are trying to push it too far, too fast. He's right; and if =he panjandrums aren't careful, they risk trying to build a United States o= Europe without the backing of the 338 million people who share the euro a= their currency, never mind the other 162 million who are merely members o= the European Union."

Masters in Business

Barry Ritholtz: "This week in=our Masters in Business interview, we speak with Jason Zweig, the Wall Str=et Journal's personal finance columnist, and author of 'Your Money & Your =rain' and the forthcoming 'The Devil’s Financial Dictionary.' Duri=g our conversation, Zweig discussed the role of luck in so many things fin=ncial -- including his own career." Listen...
