The Project Syndicate site hosts excellent articles from some of the world’s best independent thinkers on finance and the economy. Here are a few worth reading:
- Does Austerity promote economic growth?, by Robert Shiller
- The Straits of America, by Nouriel Roubini
- The Perils of 2012, by Joseph Sitglitz
- Rethinking the Growth Imperative, by Ken Rogoff
- How to Create a Depression, by Martin Feldstein
- Repairing the global plumbing, by Mohamed El-Erian
More depth and thought than the staple grade-school banter of financial commentary these days.

Sorry but I think Stiglitz is out of his mind. To wit “…………..that the United States will solve its political problems and finally adopt the stimulus measures………….”
The U.S. is broke and doesn’t really have the money to “stimulate” anything. Another useless economist a la Krugman.
