Is Chinese mercantilism good or bad for poor nations?
China’s trade balance is on course for another bumper surplus this year. Meanwhile, concern about the health of the US recovery continues to mount. Both developments suggest that China will be under renewed pressure to nudge its currency sharply upward. The conflict with the US may well come to...

More on firing costs and unemployment during the crisis
