The Stingy News Weekly (04/25/2010)
| "It is hard to make predictions, especially about the future." | |

The party's over
"So will ours be the Chinese century? Probably not. China has
just about reached high tide, and will soon begin a long painful
process of falling back."
Risks hide in plain sight
"The good news: By presenting a simplified emphasis on fees, the
researchers tripled the number of investors who favored the
lowest-cost funds. The bad news: That tripling brought the
proportion up only to 9% from 3%. "We still ended up with a 91% failure
rate," says Prof. Laibson. Encouraged to focus on fees, investors
nevertheless fixated on - and chased - past performance."
Nudges gone wrong
"But this starts to sound an awful lot like fine-tuned social
engineering, which gets us away from the original vision of simple
nudges making a better world. And it starts to sound exactly
like the type of heavy-handed governing that Republicans may be
quietly rebelling against by turning up their thermostats." [Spot
the questionable math for extra fun.]
The beholden state
"How public employees became members of the elite class in a
declining California offers a cautionary tale to the rest of the
country, where the same process is happening in slower motion."
