Today Don Boudreaux, AIER American Compass founder Oren Cass is today a darling of economic nationalists and populist conservatives. And for good reason. He writes clearly and with a flair. He conjures lovely images of a largely imaginary lost golden age of mid-20th-century America. Most importantly, he presses all the right (!) buttons of people who live in fear of the new – and, hence, unfamiliar – economic institutions and social arrangements that are inevitably produced by dynamic free markets. Unsurprisingly, among his most frequent targets is international trade. Because people burdened by such fear... |
Paul Krugman, NYT Aid to the unemployed saved us from disaster. Now it's gone. |
Vanessa Yurkevich, CNN Six months into the coronavirus emergency, Wall Street may be booming but two women of color in New York and Miami say their Main Street businesses are still hurting. |
Steven Milloy, RCM The Democratic Party has made it clear that they would rather pursue their destructive green agenda which further sets back America’s economy than give Americans the lifeline they need to get back on their feet. And if they flip the Senate this November, their climate tax will prove it. Last week, Senate Democrats unveiled a climate plan that they say will cost $400 billion per year. But for a nation in recovery – one that is exhausted under the coronavirus pandemic, rebuilding after a deadly hurricane in Louisiana, and restoring businesses run into the ground from the... |
Josh Owens, OilPrice Toyota and Honda have just launched an innovative system for providing electricity to disaster zones, using a fuel cell bus and multiple portable batteries and external power output devices |
Maya MacGuineas, WE In the middle of a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic and economic downturn, we should see lawmakers set aside political divisions to tackle our most pressing issues, just as past crises have brought us together. This should be a moment for Congress and the president to step up and enact solutions to combat the pandemic further, provide relief to those who are struggling, and lay the groundwork for securing our economic future. |
Kelly Tyko, USA Today There's no salad or coffee bar at the newest Whole Foods Market. The Amazon-owned grocery chain is officially opening its first permanent online-only store in Brooklyn, New York, to fulfill orders for grocery delivery, Whole Foods officials shared exclusively with USA TODAY on Tuesday. Like other retailers' online-only stores, also known as dark stores, the store will not be open to the public. |
Vivekanand Jayakumar, The Hill Financial market distortions, new asset bubbles and worsening of the wealth gap may be the ultimate result of the Fed's well-intentioned but misguided policy actions |
Madeline Berg, Forbes Last year, Perry might have avoided shooting in Atlanta?s July sun, but in this coronavirus era, you take any window you can, and ?Camp Quarantine? at his Tyler Perry Studios is trying to pioneer post-pandemic entertainment making. |
Matthew Rees & Phil Harvey, RCM Colombia and Albania would seem to have little in common. But they have been united since the Covid-19 outbreak in banning the export of a product that rarely finds its way into trade policy: toilet paper. Thankfully, they’re the only two countries to have taken such action. But hundreds of other products have been ensnared by the protectionist impulse this year – many, but not all, tied to Covid-19. For developing nations in particular, the dangers are great: A sweeping retreat into restricting exports and imposing high import tariffs could exacerbate the current global economic... |
Arick Wierson, Worth COVID-19 has put a spotlight on a fragile senior care system, but a vibrant health-tech ecosystem is laying track for a technology revolution that is centered on the homesâ?"just in time for the 'Silver Tsunami'â?"of aging baby boomers. |

Katherine Clark & Sen. Lisa Murkowski & Suzanne Clark, Hill Congress must act now. Access to child care, or the lack thereof, cuts across almost every sector and business struggling to reopen in a safe and timely manner. And we need to acknowledge the repercussions of failing to address this challenge. |
Matthew Haag, New York Times The pandemic is spurring home sales as prosperous city residents seek more space. One listing had 97 showings and received 24 offers. |

Jon Gabriel, TAR Driving across Arizona, it’s hard not to notice a surge in California license plates. The reason for this is becoming more apparent every day. California is a failed state. After nearly a decade of one-party rule, the once-Golden State is tarnished, possibly beyond repair. Listing all the problems facing our neighbors across the Colorado River would require several books, so I’ll only highlight a few. |
Anna Bahney, CNN Ian Group loves New York City. He was born and raised there. So he was as surprised as anyone when he and his wife bought a home in Boca Raton, Florida, and decided not to go back to the city. |
Karol Markowicz, New York Post As Manhattan's Upper West Side continues to struggle with the fallout of hundreds of homeless men shipped into neighborhood hotels, some critics are offering a pat "solution": compassion. |
Editorial, New York Sun The first thing that strikes us about the Federal Reserve’s new “Statement on Longer-Run Goals and Monetary Policy Strategy” is that the vote to approve it in the Open Market Committee was unanimous. The country may be down with its worst dose of divisiveness since practically the Civil War, and on almost every issue imaginable. Yet on the contentious issue of monetary strategy, the Fed turns out to be unanimous. Which put us in mind of the Great Sanhedrin. That was the body of 71 sages of Jewish law. It sat at Jerusalem in the time of the Temple. It is recorded that the... |

Jamie Powell, FT Alphaville Tesla's valuation is unhinged from economic reality. |
Willem H. Buiter, Project Syndicate The US Federal Reserve's recent changes to its monetary policy framework are ill-advised and potentially harmful. They also fail to address a number of other crucial problems. The Fed should scrap this new approach, and instead make full and effective use of the policy instruments it has or could have at its disposal. |
Anneken Tappe, CNN The pandemic lockdown has killed the work commute. And as the number of miles people travel every day has collapsed, commuters have saved themselves billions of dollars. |
John Rekenthaler, Morningstar One word, several different investment experiences. |
Paul Ausick, 24/7 Wall St. To say that Zoom has prospered during the COVID-19 pandemic may be an understatement. However, there are plenty of deep-pocketed challengers to the company that took video conferencing to new levels of awareness and use. |
Alicia McElhaney, II Point72 Ventures has launched a new health care investment team just as the industry's profits are swelling. |
David D'Amato, AIER The conspicuousness of America’s political polarization belies a counterintuitive insight: the belligerents of the nation’s social and political war are actually very much alike. |
