John Dickerson | Slate | 16 July 2012

Romney wants voters to remember Obama 2008 and feel let down. Also to
  see him as a better manager of the economy. But "he's never really
  offered a story to voters about how his career as a successful
  businessman will be good for us" [9]Comments

[10]Do Business Schools Incubate Criminals?
    Links:
      10. http://b.rw/NRrKkC

Luigi Zingales | Bloomberg | 16 July 2012

Thousands of Tibetan yak herders who once lived in poverty now own

Joan Acocella | New Yorker | 16 July 2012

"The reason that most people value fairy tales, I would say, is that
  they do not detain us with hope but simply validate what is." They tell
  us that knowledge, or fear, of danger and deprivation is not fantastic,
  but realistic [17]Comments
