  The New Republic - the avenue Feed — Authority: 122
  One way to assess the $787 federal recovery package—which last month had its one-year anniversary—is the conventional way: as timely, short-term stimulus. And on that point—though the package gets no respect—the consensus among economists is pretty complete, as I recently noted . The stimulus has preserved ...

  It’s a common story in the U.S. every year—Americans pour out of their homes and join friends and family all over the country (and world) during the two-month holiday season.  And while cheer is never guaranteed around the Thanksgiving or winter holiday table, one element is seemingly always guaranteed: waiting. ...

  The New Republic - the avenue Feed — Authority: 122

• Amazon’s Kindle: Symbol of American Decline?

  
  The New Republic - the avenue Feed — Authority: 122
  Apple’s iPad is dominating the gadget buzz this winter, but a few years ago, we and others made a big deal about the “polyglot” iPod , turning it into a talisman of the globalized supply-chain.

  The New Republic - the avenue Feed — Authority: 122
  Regionalism is too often thought to require government initiative. As a result, progress is associated with full-on structural reform--and so the controversy (and usually frustration) begins.

  The New Republic - the avenue Feed — Authority: 122
  The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (aka, ARRA, aka the Recovery Act, aka the stimulus bill) doesn’t get any respect, in some ways deservedly.
