Edward Harrison — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 16:15:08 +0000

Here’s more from Warren Buffett on CNBC this morning. This time he talks to Becky Quick about ‘Too Big To Fail’. CNBC host Joe Kernen takes sides with the Occupy Wall Street protesters and asks Buffett whether we can regulate them to “keep them honest” or whether we need to “break them up”. Buffett responds in the video below

On Eurobonds and Italian default

Edward Harrison — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 17:30:54 +0000

The bottom line is this: many in Northern Europe see this crisis as the result of the fiscal profligacy of bad actors which were known before the Euro’s existence to be bad actors. All of these countries except Spain have been running huge deficits throughout the last decade. In my view, Edward Hugh makes the right macro assessment - Italy is the elephant in the euro room, not Spain - and asks the right questions: Can Italy Grow Its Way Out of Debt? If it can’t, eventually Italy will default and the euro will be finished

What Bernanke should have said?

Edward Harrison — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 15:30:28 +0000

These questions sound like Congress thinks the US will be the next Greece. And that makes them likely to turn the US into the next Japan. The Congressmen almost never ask questions. They are statements posed as questions to get Bernanke to back their ideological position. Here’s what Bernanke should do when he doesn't want to answer questions. Why doesn't he just do this: point to the debt ceiling debate and say to every single question he’s asked

Freedom of Speech in Pakistan and India

John Lounsbury — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 05:13:24 +0000

I feel the media in India has become quite complacent about the tawdry condition of free speech in India. All too often journalists can be warned off a seamy story by a tiny exercise of power or influence. All too often, the crooks are able to buy the loyalty of a journalist quite easily. There isn't enough intellectualism going around, among the men and women in the media. Eshwar Sundaresan, writing in Dawn, says that India badly needs more journalists of the character of Pakistan's Najam Sethi. This is one of many areas where India's success in the last 20 years is leading to an erosion of the very foundations of that success.
