  Economix — Authority: 732
  Should we take action to slow climate change even if the science is uncertain?

• In Copenhagen, let us hope they finally make up their minds, and, if it is serious, scrap the cap and trade and fully enlist the poor

  
  Tea with FT — Authority: 128
  Sir though I agree with much of Martin Wolf’s “Why Copenhagen must be the end of the beginning”, December 2, what I most would like to see happening there is for the world to finally make up its mind whether it is going to treat climate change as a real threat or not. A wishy-washy middle ground that creates the ...

• What’s all this I hear about Fiscal Restraint?

  
  The Confluence — Authority: 620
  Martin Wolfs History lesson on Federal Debts Deficits never bother Republicans when they are the ones creating them by foolishly ridding themselves of a tax base and building the nation’s stockpile of weapons, war toys, and defense lobbyists. Give us one bad economy where we actually need to put deficit spending ...

• The party of federal debt and the path to sustainability

  
  xpostfactoid — Authority: 495
  Lest anyone forget that Republicans have for a generation been the party of federal debt, a timely reminder from Martin Wolf: In the case of the US, 1.8 percentage points of a 6.5 percentage point deterioration will be due to such measures. Most of the change is structural: the levels of GDP and fiscal revenue will ...

• A Wolf whistle on bankers pay

  
  xpostfactoid — Authority: 495
  Almost two years ago, FT economics columnist Martin Wolf surprised himself (rhetorically, anyway) by seconding a proposal by Raghuram Rajan, former chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, that regulators force banks to tie bonus pay to long-term performance: Yet individual institutions cannot change ...

• I completely understand the proposal, but the answer is no!

  
  Tea with FT — Authority: 128
  Sir Martin Wolf’s wish to “Tax the windfall banking bonuses” November 20 is such an honest and truly understandable “populist” proposal that it makes us fret what lies in store for the world. In essence it signifies that governments should have the right to claw back in taxes any earnings that resulted from ...

• Worth Reading

  
  The New Republic - the stash Feed — Authority: 139
  Martin Wolf: Tax windfall bank bonuses . Did the home buyer tax credit weaken the rental market ? Given the crisis, 401(k)s are actually doing pretty ok . Is it time for a tax credit to make hiring cheaper for employers? Correction: Dark pools arent making aggregate market data unreliable. Will Ferrell is ...

• Social engineering

  
  Tea with FT — Authority: 128
  Sir I also belong to those who like Martin Wolf have a special relation with the cold war and it might be very difficult to transmit its real meaning to those born after the fall of the Berlin wall. With respect to Wolf’s “Victory in the cold war was a start as well as an ending”, November 11, I have two ...

• The best way to get through a debt crisis?

  
  Contrarian Stock Market Investing News - Featuring Bargain Stocks — Authority: 502
  What’s the best way to get through a debt crisis? Straight through was our advice last week. For at least a thousand years, the business cycle went round and round without help from central bankers or economists. It is only since these geniuses have been on the case that really serious problems have arisen. The ...

• It is indeed hard to find the right moment for sacrifices

  
  Tea with FT — Authority: 128
  Sir in “Private behaviour will shape our path to fiscal stability” November 4, Martin Wolf tells us that it “would have been a monstrous blunder” to lower the private sector surplus through an adjustment that destroyed private income, but also, that not to do so, is a case of “adjustment postponed” which ...

• TV at Its Best

  
  Get the Flick — Authority: 133
  I’ve said it before but this episode of Global Public Square demands that I say it again. Fareed Zakaria is providing a show that is TV at its best. The first segment is with Matthew Hoh, the young man that is causing such a stir with his resignation over our policy in Afghanistan. This is a powerful ...

• Is there no cost in avoiding bubbles?

  
  Tea with FT — Authority: 128
  Sir though I agree with much of Martin Wolf’s “How mistaken ideas helped to bring the economy down” October 28, I have serious difficulties on understanding how one should be implementing the bubble-busting. Are the regulators now going to appoint bubble-measurers? Are we going to have these assets bubble-meters ...
