    Supreme Court Free-Speech Decision Clobbers GMO Food-Labeling Activists

    Controversy continues to rage over whether foods from genetically engineered plants should have to be labeled as such.

    Conundrum Redux

    FT's Alphaville has an excellent post by Matthew Klein on long-term interest rates, organized around Greenspan's "conundrum." The "conundrum" was that Greenspan couldn't control long term rates as he wished. Long rates do not always track short rates or Fed pronouncements. As the post nicely shows, it was ever thus.

    Free Banking Theory Versus The Real Bills Doctrine

    The “real-bills doctrine” was roundly rejected by postwar monetary theorists of both the Chicagoan and the Austrian perspectives (Lloyd Mints 1945, Ludwig von Mises 1949). But George Selgin (1989) was right to warn us that “it would be a mistake to think of the real-bills doctrine as a ‘dead horse’” because “dead horses of economic theory have a habit of suddenly springing back to life again.”

    Politico Playbook

    Good Wednesday morning. It’s the “Thump and dump Trump” debate, with most of the GOP candidates planning to go after The Donald, and moderator Jake Tapper eager to spur fights. In addition to pitting Jeb, Carson, Carly and perhaps others against Trump, Tapper said on CNN that he’ll sometimes ask pairs of candidates to address (read: fight) each other.
