Bob Higgs here (yet again, but always worthily) explains why WWII did not boost the economy [1]. (Is there a more frequently committed instance of the looking-only-at-what-is-seen error than the frequently committed insistence that war is good for the economy?)
And here Bob ponders bank reserves [2].
Cato’s Sallie James has the dirt on the agreement to extend Trade Adjustment Assistance through 2013 [6].
Richard Rahn discusses tax cuts [7].
