Fixing the global food crisis (Arvind Subramanian, VoxEU)
Tackling the challenges posed by the current food crises requires joint action by various members of the international community. Developed nations should take the leadership role. In the short run, Japan and China should allow their stocks of rice to be exported to those in need, and the United States should eliminate origin requirements on food aid. Over the medium run, we need collective action in the WTO to eliminate distortions in agriculture and agricultural trade, including the replacement of US and EU biofuel programs with green policies that do not actively pick the winners. Over the long run, we need to rally resources and revitalise institutions to boost agricultural research and productivity in developing countries, especially Africa.

Incentive effects of religion. Could it be that power promises to sort things out, and state religion is hoped to be an insurance policy for power when they don't turn out?

Wired 2.03: The Economy of Ideas
If our property can be infinitely reproduced and instantaneously distributed all over the planet without cost, without our knowledge, without its even leaving our possession, how can we protect it? How are we going to get paid for the work we do with our minds? And, if we can't get paid, what will assure the continued creation and distribution of such work?

Policy must also chart a stable long-term course, which implies the need to reconsider the paradigm of the past 25 years. That means ending trade deficits that drain spending and jobs, and restoring the link between wages and productivity. That way, wage income, not debt and asset price inflation, can again provide the engine of demand growth.

FT.com / Columnists / John Kay - Not the time to emphasise Scotland’s fealty
But the issue of the value of the pound in the Scotsman’s sporran is a smokescreen. The larger question is the income Scottish banks derive from lending out the cover for their £3bn note issue for about half the time.

FT.com / Columnists / Wolfgang Munchau - America’s recession will be hard to shift
So do not be fooled by anybody who says that the central bank should cut interest rates for the benefit of innocent citizens who have been caught up in this maelstrom. The first, second and third beneficiaries of the Federal Reserve’s pending helicopter drop of cash will be banks, not ordinary people or companies.

FT.com / Comment & analysis / Editorial comment - Help! The credit crunch is finished
As 2008 begins, banks are again lending to each other at almost normal rates, and pressure on the money markets is much reduced. Yet all is not well. The ground may have stopped shaking – for now – but the aftershocks of the earthquake have revealed that thousands of financial structures were fragile and poorly-built.
