    <title>Austere Illusions</title>
    <description><![CDATA[A government cannot liquidate its deficit if the source of its revenues, the national income, is diminishing. It is deficit reduction, not debt, that is profligate, because it implies wastage of available human and physical capital, quite apart from the resulting misery.]]></description>

    <title>Africa’s French Roadblock</title>
    <description><![CDATA[While some African countries now rank among the world's fastest-growing economies, others – including the 14 countries that form the franc zone – remain mired in poverty. To break out of it, franc-zone leaders must pursue complete emancipation from France, abandon the CFA franc, and build relations with China.]]></description>

    <title>The Flawed Origins of Expansionary Austerity</title>
    <description><![CDATA[As the case for austerity in a time of recession has weakened under the continuing onslaught of facts (most notably the recessions in Europe), advocates of fiscal stimulus have found the missteps of their opponents Carmen Reinhart, Ken Rogoff, and Niall Ferguson to be convenient weapons. But they are the wrong weapons.]]></description>

    <title>Nationalism, Madness, and Terrorism</title>
    <description><![CDATA[If we want to understand what drove the Boston Marathon bombing suspects to terrorism, the answer almost certainly does not lie in Dagestan, where the brothers lived before moving to the US, or in Chechnya's two wars in the last 20 years. Instead, the key to the Tsarnaevs’ behavior lies in developments in England 500 years ago.]]></description>

    <title>Balancing the Technocrats</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Electoral cycles are such that monetary policy, banking, and many other areas must be regulated by those with professional competence and a much longer time horizon than that of politicians. But, if technocrats are allowed to determine long-term policy and set objectives, democracy itself is in serious jeopardy.]]></description>

    <title>Debt Without Drowning</title>

They should begin with a debt-pooling scheme that satisfies three crucial requirements.]]></description>

    <title>Europe’s Irrelevant Austerity Debate</title>
    <description><![CDATA[The debate about austerity and the cost of high public-debt levels misses a key point: public debt owed to foreigners is different from debt owed to residents. And that distinction is particularly important in the context of the euro crisis, which the evidence confirms is not really about sovereign debt, but about foreign debt.]]></description>

    <title>In Defense of Non-Visionaries</title>
