    <title>In Defense of Non-Visionaries</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Many of the recent tributes for Margaret Thatcher celebrated her as a “transformational” leader who brought about great changes, and there were frequent references to her equally transformational American counterpart, Ronald Reagan. But a more interesting comparison is with her other presidential contemporary, George H. W. Bush.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Never in the history of written communication could 140 characters have the impact that they can have now, as the recent hacking of the Associated Press's Twitter account revealed.

    <title>America’s Enemy Within</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Former President George W. Bush once explained terrorism as the expression of hatred for American freedom. But when a crime committed by two young immigrants causes an entire city to be shut down, Americans’ government is harming their freedom more than any terrorist could ever hope to do.]]></description>

    <title>The New Economy of Fealty</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Since the late twentieth century, most employment growth has come in services, particularly personal services – a pattern that looks like a reversal of a previous historical trend. Indeed, the element of personal dependence that many of the new service jobs imply is a throwback to the preindustrial world.]]></description>

    <title>America’s Healthy Path to Fiscal Health</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Over the last five years, growth in US health-care spending has slowed dramatically. If that trend continues, America’s fiscal position would strengthen significantly, because the two main government health-care programs, Medicare and Medicaid, are the largest contributors to the long-term federal budget deficit.]]></description>

Indeed, the rest of the world’s stake in America's success is nearly as large as that of the US itself.]]></description>

    <title>Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Debt?</title>
