Greek Lessons for the World Economy
The Greek crisis is yet another manifestation of the political trilemma of the world economy: economic globalization, political democracy, and the nation-state are mutually irreconcilable. We can have at most two at one time. Read the rest here.

Europe’s fate depends on…
Germany. Financial meltdown has been averted in Europe – for now. But the future of the European Union and the fate of the eurozone still hang in the balance. If Europe doesn’t find a way to reactivate the continent’s economy soon, it will be doomed to years of gloom and endless mutual recrimina...

What is going on in Turkey?
Not what you read in the papers. Forged documents, planted evidence, secret witnesses, anonymous informants — these have become the weapons of choice in the massive campaign underway in Turkey to destroy the secular old guard and discredit the government’s opponents. It may look like a mildly Is...

What does Spain need to do to get out of the crisis?
I just came back from a conference in Spain, where this was the question on the table. I made the following points. First, expenditure cuts are not going to do the job on their own, unless accompanied by policies targeted directly at improving competitiveness. Second, "structural reforms" (which...

Some fallacies never die
My previous post on the comparative merits of import substitution (ISI) and the Washington Consensus (WC) has resuscitated some counter-arguments that I thought had long been laid to rest. Three in particular: 1. “ISI was responsible for the debt crisis of the 1980s.” This confuses micro and ...

My latest on Turkey's ugly turn is here. The title is over-the-top, but it was the WSJ editorialists' choice, not mine. (And they got the caption underneath the picture on the online version badly wrong, as of this writing.)

More on firing costs and unemployment during the crisis
My previous post has apparently produced some incomprehension. I thought it was a rather simple point, but I guess I should have been less telescopic. Here is the point. Spain’s unemployment has doubled since 2008, going from 10 percent to 20 percent. That is a hell of a shock to labor demand. L...
