  • Not surprisingly, troubled economic times often beget proselytizers of wacky, extreme ideas.

    Jobs   Pieces   Acronyms  
  • The weak economy, widening income inequality, gridlock in Congress and a presidential election: Those were perhaps the dominant economic and political themes of 2012.

    "India Is Losing the Race" by Steven Rattner, opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com. January 19, 2013.
  • Indias rigid social structure limits intergenerational economic mobility and fosters acceptance of vast wealth disparities.

  • During my 30 years on Wall Street, taxes on “unearned income” have bounced up and down with regularity, and I’ve never detected any change in the appetite for hard work and accumulating wealth on the part of myself or any of my fellow capitalists.

    Wall   Hard Work   Years  
    "More Chips For Tax Reform" by Steven Rattner, opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com. November 24, 2012.

    Eye   Pay Gap   Growing  
  • Finally, let's keep well in mind the most important lesson of the auto rescue: While government should stay away from the private sector as much as possible, markets do occasionally fail, and when they do government can play a constructive role, as it did in the case of the auto rescue.

    Government   Play   Mind  
  • As a beneficiary of the carried interest loophole, I've seen firsthand the lack of any difference between the work involved in generating a carried interest and the work done by millions of other professionals who are taxed at the full 35 percent rate.
