What Really Happened?
Lawrence H. White via Cato Unbound on Tue, 02 Dec. 2008
In the first of this month's four accounts of the causes of the financial crisis, Lawrence H. White, the F.A. Hayek Professor of Economic History at the University of Missouri, St. Louis, makes his case.

The Need for Reliable Information
Mark Thoma via Economist's View on Sat, 29 Nov. 2008
There has been much debate about whether the financial crisis is driven by lack of liquidity or from fears about lack of adequate capital and solvency, but I'm starting to think a third component is important as well, the complete breakdown of traditional information flows, and a loss of confidence in the models used to evaluate that information. Markets need information to work properly, a readmore

When Everyone Is A Blogger, Nothing You Say Is Off The Record
Robin Wauters via TechCrunch on Fri, 28 Nov. 2008
There’s a lot of buzz here in the Belgian blogosphere and mainstream media about an incident involving a New York-based blogger, who was fired from her job as a bartender after publishing a post on the bar visit of a Belgian politician. I’m generally hesitant to share ‘local’ stories here because I want to keep it relevant. In this particular case, I think it is. readmore
