 Best of the Moment

Did He Feel Good?

Ian Penman | City Journal | 8 June 2012

Superb piece on godfather of soul James Brown, pegged to new biography. "The Hardest Working Man in Show Business rubbed up against the worst dreams of men and ultimately paid a heavy, soul-consuming price" Comments

Leaking War

Peter Van Buren | Nation/TomDispatch | 12 June 2012

Black is white and white is black, says whistleblower. "Leaks that favour the president are shoveled out regardless of national security, while national security is twisted to pummel leaks that do not favour him" Comments

Will Globalization Go Bankrupt?

Michael Pettis | Credit Writedowns | 11 June 2012

"If global liquidity contracts and if markets around the world pull back, our imaginations will once again turn to the increasingly visible costs of globalization and away from the potential for all peoples to prosper" Comments

The Heart Of The Matter

John Hussman | Hussman Funds | 11 June 2012

Sobering read on prospects for global economy. The elephant in the room? "A warped financial system that directs scarce capital to speculative and unproductive uses, and refuses to restructure debt once that debt has gone bad" Comments

We Isolate And Overload Germany At Our Peril

Gideon Rachman | FT | 11 June 2012

Angela Merkel deserves more credit that she is getting for her handling of the euro crisis. The aim is a durable political fix, which will take time, and she's just about managing to keep German public opinion in line (Free reg/$) Comments

A Book Lover's Guide To Reading And Walking At The Same Time

Lev Grossman | Time | 6 June 2012

"Short bursts is the approach. You look for a stretch of open sidewalk, maybe a half a block, you hastily memorize the major obstacles, and then you glance down at the book. You look up again and digest the words as you walk" Comments
