Paul Pillar | Washington Monthly | 5 March 2012 Pillar presents the most comprehensive case against war with Iran that I’ve seen. It won’t stop hawks from continuing to clamor for another foolish war, but he provides all the arguments you need to puncture bellicose fear-mongering Comments Mike Dash | Smithsonian | 29 March 2012 Dash takes us back to the 17th century for a bizarre tale of hyperinflation. Incredibly, "it was the product not only of slipshod economic management, but also of deliberate attempts by German states to defraud their neighbours" Comments Robert Kelly | Duck of Minerva | 18 March 2012 Robert Kelly offers a provocative post on Russia’s eroding claim to major power status. Kelly argues that Russia is past its peak: Its population is shrinking and aging and it is devolving into a "petro-state with nukes" Comments Jon Gertner | Fast Company | 19 March 2012 "Tesla Motors almost certainly represents the most extreme test of the limits and capabilities of the Silicon Valley model of innovation." And now it's crunch time, as it prepares for launch of its first mid-market electric vehicle Comments Minxin Pei | Foreign Policy | 20 March 2012 We’re so accustomed to hearing about China’s rise that we rarely focus on its diplomatic challenges and foreign policy liabilities. This is a nice corrective for those who assume that China will eventually dominate global politics Comments Jason Lefkowitz | Just Well Mixed | 29 March 2012 Decisions you take in the 10 minutes after detonation are the most important. Find shelter immediately; basements of tall buildings are good. Don't be tempted to flee. Fallout is at its most radioactive now but drops off quickly Comments |
