  • Going back to the road less traveled -redirecting the talent

    One of the supposed strengths of the Anglo-American model of capitalism is its innovation. That was great when its global access to automated teller machines, really horrible with packaged derivatives of sub-prime loans today. That innovation that led to the current financial meltdown has come from the ''best and the brightest'' of the last 20 ...

  • the Lost Campaign...

    Guess what? Jerry Seinfeld couldn't cut it. You'll have to give him another 300 million to prove Windows isn't lame. But it is! Yes Google! Yes.

  • Economics & Finance Gabfest Please!

    I'm not really sure where else to post this request. I enjoy Slate's Political Gabfest... until they venture into economy-related topics... they can be a bit out of their depth. Maybe it's time for an economics & finance gabfest - the interest would probably be keen right now as people try to understand the current shakeup. Slate also ...

  • Whales don't need Casinos Anymore!

    I can no longer sit here quietly in my home and watch what's going on with our financial system and the way that Washington is bailing out all the FAT-CATS who own, lead and manage these Mega-Corporations. Yes; I understand that allowing them to fail may have caused a Great Depression 2...but something needs to be done about these greedy ...

  • 700+billion Bail out BS

    Like any failed business the assets of these companies (whether on paper or in mortar and brick) should be auctioned off to the highest bidders. This would limit compensation of executives responsible for this disaster and hopefully allow responsible firms to manage these assets in a profitable fashion. A Gov bailout, even in the form of a ...

  • Re: Treasuries...

    I am much too poor and too ethnic - 3rd Generation American from Midwestern Chicago -- with three wonderful Italian Grandparents - and too fundamentally well educated to count myself as a Conservative, a Republican, or a John Birch Society Member. However, being 54 years of age, and seeing the disaster that is my America today, in every ...

  • Is Landsburg for real?

    As with any of Professor Landsburg’s arguments, the logic is impeccable, he’s a clever chap. But as with any logical derivation, it is the initial assumptions from which the conclusions are drawn about which we should be wary. In the case of this article, the implicit assumption revolves around just exactly who counts in future generations. The ...

  • Re: Rights Slipping Away

    I can't believe this! The government is getting way outta control. people need to take a stand. It's not about cheap burgers or alchol or smoking, it's about our right to do those things. What if they banned diamonds and flashy cars from rich people because of increased chance of robbery. Or they baneed certain vegitables and replaced them w/ ...

  • Plastic Man

    Pardon me, but there is not one single ounce of true concern for the people of South Central LA in your article, and probably not even your body. You are pro business, and that's it. The people, and their elected officials, of whom the City Council and Mayor certainly are (just like that a-hole Bush is our president), have the right and ...
