Gillian Tett: Female Trump supporters feel they have numerous other reasons to back him, ones that are more important than gender.
To an angry, dispossessed voter, Trump offers a vision of change that Clinton does not; to them, his anti-establishment speeches and “Make America Great Again” mantra are positive and memorable in a way that none of the slogans from the Clinton camp has managed to be.
As Michelle Obama pointed out in her own thrillingly powerful speech in Philadelphia on Monday — to many voters today it no longer seems odd that a woman is running for president.
That is an extraordinary achievement. But it could also be a tragedy for Clinton; it means that the Democrats cannot assume they can win female votes “just” by using the gender card.

IMF’s top staff misled their own board, made a series of calamitous misjudgments in Greece,
IMF’s top staff misled their own board, made a series of calamitous misjudgments in Greece, became euphoric cheerleaders for the euro project, ignored warning signs of impending crisis, and collectively failed to grasp an elemental concept of currency theory.
This is the lacerating verdict of the IMF’s top watchdog on the fund’s tangled political role in the eurozone debt crisis, the most damaging episode in the history of the Bretton Woods institutions.

Why the Federal Reserve is rethinking everything,
The Federal Reserve is being forced to reevaluate its most basic assumptions about the economy after trillions of dollars of stimulus and years of ultralow interest rates have failed to generate a more robust recovery.
“I think all of us are involved in a process of constantly re-evaluating where is that neutral rate going,” Yellen told reporters last month.
“Maybe more of what’s causing this neutral rate to be low are factors that are not going to be rapidly disappearing but will be part of the new normal.”
Among the most prominent theories is one championed by former Treasury secretary and Harvard economist Lawrence H. Summers, which argues that deeper forces are discouraging business investment and miring the economy in an era of so-called "secular stagnation."

Zero rates and quantitative easing merely drive up asset prices, Ambrose

European leaders have gathered time and again by Charlemagne’s ancient throne in Aachen, in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, to deliver visionary speeches announcing that the time has finally come to build a truly integrated Europe.

EMU will stop
Critics from Britain rightly argue that the monetary union is failing because of a divergence of economic performance. There are now backstops in place but they will not stop member states drifting further apart.
The solution is at the very least a central authority in charge of banking and finance, a small budget and some joint debt instruments.
If politics does not allow this, you have to accept the adage that if something is not sustainable it will come to an end.

Helicopter money is more effective, so it’s bad news for bond holders

We shouldn’t have to talk about central banks and their leaders every time we discuss the economy.
Monetary policy is but one factor in the grand economic equation and should certainly not be the most important one. Yet the Fed and its fellow central banks have been hogging center stage for nearly a decade now.
That might be okay if their policies made sense, but abundant evidence says they do not.

Anders Borg: In fact, federalism is probably the single greatest threat to the future of the EU. Welcome in the club.
European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has called for more federalism – for more power to be delegated to the EU’s governing institutions.I consider Juncker a close friend, but I strongly disagree with him about this idea.
Moving toward deeper integration or centralized control would be a dangerous path to take, for it would increase the risk of other members choosing to leave the EU.
And, beyond that hazard, there are other reasons to avoid federalist measures.
Consider the main economic argument offered by federalists: the eurozone needs a common fiscal policy to harmonize policy decisions, such as taxation. This is wrong for two reasons.
First, the EU’s fundamental economic problems are structural. Europeans will continue to gravitate toward populism if they do not see improvements in their standard of living, which will happen only with higher productivity growth. A single fiscal policy would not bring this about – and could make the problem worse.
The second reason is political...
Today, supporters of the EU must face the facts: an ever-closer union is not the European people’s will, even in the member states that would never choose to leave it.
If the European Commission forces the post-Brexit narrative in this direction, the result will be the opposite of what was intended.

A move by Italy — the third-largest economy in the eurozone — to abandon the euro could strike a potentially fatal blow to the currency and to the bloc itself.
Meanwhile, at more than 130% of GDP, Italy has one of the biggest public debt burdens in Europe, second only to Greece.

Bill White world’s central banks were making a mistake with their single-minded focus on monetary policy, Mauldin
Bill White is a former BIS chief economist and now chairs the OECD Economic Development and Review Committee.
He famously pushed Alan Greenspan to raise interest rates in 2003 so the Fed would have a cushion to use in the next crisis – which Bill thought would come along in a few years. Sure enough, he was right.
Bill told us last year that the world’s central banks were making a mistake with their single-minded focus on monetary policy.
He noted, correctly, that monetary solutions have not helped, and he stated emphatically that more of the same won’t help, either.
Interest rates have an important signaling function.
What happens when the signals are wrong? People make bad decisions, of course.
And, for at least the last six years (perhaps more), the signals have been very wrong indeed.

Därför kan han, lika lite som andra EMU-kramare, inte erkänna att det är något fel på tanken på att bunta ihop, slå samman, länder som Tyskland och Grekland, Irland, Spanien och Sverige i något som liknar ett Gross-Jugoslavien.
Jag är övertygad om att det ekonomiska system som byggt upp i Jugoslavien i form av arbetarstyrda företag tillhör en av vårt århundrades mest betydelsefulla sociala innovationer.
