To explain why perjury is such a grave crime (when, after all, everybody fibs), Noah Feldman traces out 3,000 years of legal history, going back to the time when the gods were divine law-enforcement agents.One Group Is Responsible for Trump: RepublicansNot Paul Krugman or a cabal of left-leaning pundits, as one much-discussed theory has it. Jonathan Bernstein says efforts to put the blame on Democrats don't stand up to scrutiny.A Soros Plan, a Marginalized IsraelGeorge Soros's Open Society Foundations tried to be less-than-open about its pressure campaign on Israel, according to a trove of newly leaked documents. Eli Lake takes a moment to savor the irony.Egypt's Failing Economy Is Sisi's FaultBillions of dollars of foreign aid haven't done much to revive Egypt's struggling economy, where unemployment is high, poverty is higher, and inflation is rising rapidly. The Bloomberg View editorial board places the blame squarely at the feet of President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, who seems more interested in pursuing outrageous mega-projects than reasonable economic reforms.Ritholtz's ReadsThe great productivity puzzle (The New Yorker)Hedge funds are losing endowments after exodus of pensions (Bloomberg)We read that 10,000-word interview with Apple CEO Tim Cook so you don’t have to (Recode)(Read Barry Ritholtz's full daily news roundup.)Bloomberg GadflyFoxconn's accounting trapRide-hailing makes strange bedfellowsRead the label on big pharma's new sales(Read more from BV's sister site for fast business commentary.)For more information, email [email-masked] media inquiries, contact Jill Watanabe at +1-212-617-1610 or [email-masked] received this message because you signed up for Bloomberg View newsletters.bloomberg.com/view | 731 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022 | Contact Us | Unsubscribe <a href="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/click/7403928.18715/aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tYWlsLmJsb29tYmVyZ3ZpZXcuY29tIg/55086a4c3b35d051538c37ccB364438f2><img src="http://link.mail.bloombergview.com/img/55086a4c3b35d051538c37cc4eowo.efv/182257da.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
