Can farming save Detroit? →
With a net worth of more than $100 million, John Hantz is one of the richest men left in Detroit. Once a star stockbroker at American Express, he left 13 years ago to found his own firm. Today Hantz Financial Services has 20 offices in Michigan, Ohio, and Georgia, more than 500 employees, and $1.3 billion in assets under management.

askjerves: Larry Bird: “After we won the 1986 championship me and my wife Dinah went out to K.C. Jones’s restaurant. He had a rib place. I had two beers. Remember how we stopped drinking that year?’’ - the ’86 Celtics swore off alcohol for their playoff run - “Well, I had two beers and they didn’t even taste good. I was tired, anyway, so I went home an hour later.” “Bill [Walton] came over. It...

Unlimited $$$$ for Fannie and Freddie
The Obama administration pledged on Christmas Eve to provide unlimited financial assistance to Fannie and Freddie, an eleventh-hour move that allows the government to exceed the current $400 billion cap on emergency aid without seeking permission from a bailout-weary Congress. But even as the administration was making this open-ended financial commitment, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac disclosed that...

Paul Krugman: The Big Zero →
From an economic point of view, I’d suggest that we call the decade past the Big Zero. It was a decade in which nothing good happened, and none of the optimistic things we were supposed to believe turned out to be true. It was a decade with basically zero job creation. It was a decade with zero economic gains for the typical family. It was a decade of zero gains for homeowners, even if they...

Nader’s Utopia: The World According to Ralph →
Ralph Nader’s new novel, Only the Super-Rich Can Save Us, is a quixotic answer to Ayn Rand’s 1957 novel Atlas Shrugged, one of Alan Greenspan’s favorite works. By the end of the book, everything Nader has fought to achieve for decades is accomplished. Popular democracy triumphs. There is an ascendancy of independent third parties. An independent press challenges the status quo....
