It’s fall, Patrick’s fantasy football team is 3-0, and the Skins are somehow 2-1. Oh, and a conservative American government is proposing the largest financial bailout in the history of mankind. (Posting a day late due to technical difficulties...)
Nick:
1. India's in: I don't normally care for Gideon Rachman but he hits the nail on the head in recognizing the reality of India's nuclear status.
2. I feel a lot better: that Steven Levitt admits he hasn't the "foggiest idea what all this means". But I'll trust who he trusts. Diamond and Kashyap on financial upheavals.
3. The Bottom 1.4 billion: Paul Collier appeals to the UN for not more aid, but more policy on poverty issues. TED talks are really sweet if you don't know.
4. Too: Did the creator of Google really JUST start a blog? Two thoughts: shouldn't it be a little more put together and isn't Parkinson's a gloomy topic for a first post? I'm just saying.
Patrick:
1. Insiders Save Themselves: Megan McArdle has proven herself even more essential than usual throughout this whole financial mess.
2. Who’s at fault: When it comes to bad loans, it’s also important to remember that it takes two to tango….
3. What I’ve learned from six years of blogging: If only we could all be as prescient as Dan Drezner. This post should be required reading for all politics, economics and policy bloggers.
4. Only By the Night: Kings of Leon return with a 4th album. Nuff said.
