1) In the mood for a history lesson? Noah Smith has an interesting take on Mankiw's Scientists vs Engineers macro paradigm.
2) David Glasner has a quick (sure!) response to QE bashers specifically detailing the misconception of Bernanke targeting asset prices rather than arguing that there was some correlation between the movement in stock prices and the expectations of future performance.
3) Gideon Rachman has a stern piece in today's FT on the Indian spectrum. There's an irony that while funding IMF bailouts to troubled EU economies, India's own living standards pale in comparison to Greece/Ireland etc. "You stay sane in India by looking at the medium-term". Don't ask me who said this!
4) The best social policy is full employment? Jack Ewing has a piece in the NYT on Germany and Jobs.
5) The Big Picture has a link to charts I've been wanting to look at. Global growth rates and Equity market returns (through JPAM). A noticeable difference in the weighting pie.
6) ...and....HARRY POTTER's BACK!! Or atleast Rowling is...
