Canada 42% - Sumner points at actual costs of bailouts: TARP made a profit, Fannie/Freddie/FDIC are hideously expensive.
- Russ Roberts talks about governments crowding out private activity.

- Entrepreneur as hero.
- Tremendously impressive post on what makes for good government. This violates your preconceptions if you have any 1-dimensional position.
- Kling on making money as an academic:
