  3. The end of macro magic

    WASHINGTON -- The International Monetary Fund recently held a conference that should concern most people despite its arcane subject -- "Rethinking Macro Policy II."

Now, with 38 million unemployed in Europe and the United States -- and recoveries that are feeble or nonexistent -- macroeconomics is in disarray and disrepute.

  4. A right and proper death of the euro

    William Pfaff
    PARIS -- When the proposal was initially made for a common European currency, it seemed to this writer to be a good idea, with the flaw that it wouldn't work. Although inexpert in economics (being a product of the age of arithmetic), it struck me as an...

  8. The Improvisers

    WASHINGTON -- The bailout of Cyprus -- if it can be called that -- bore all the trappings of Europe's standard response to its economic crisis. The last-minute, melodramatic rescue was complex, contentious and controversial. Decisions were taken that, for now, prevent Cyprus' problems from spilling over to the 16 other countries that use the euro. But the same steps may make matters worse in the long run. No one who reads Neil Irwin's splendid new book, "The Alchemists: Three Central Bankers and a World on Fire," will be surprised.
