Read Stuff...I Should

If it wasn't in the Racing Form, I probably missed it this weekend -- so here's an open thread for Monday, and also a chance to let me know what I should catch up on. Good stuff, especially, but if there's something that would make me cranky, I suppose that's okay too. Thanks! Back to normal tomorrow.

  1. NYT on Worker's Defense Project in Texas -- a genuinely inspiring tale of young people developing an organization that's won some big fights for low-wage construction workers in Texas, where workers comp insurance isn't mandatory.

  3. Krugman had a good piece on the state of macro theory in light of the last few years: http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/08/12/synthesis-lost/

    Yglesias pushed back that he was being to negative: http://www.slate.com/blogs/moneybox/2013/08/12/krugman_free_market_keynesianism_is_dead_are_we_doomed.html

    Also Weigel has some good reporting on what's going on in Iowa, particularly how social conservatives seem to be gravitating to Ted Cruz: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2013/08/ted_cruz_in_iowa_social_conservatives_want_him_to_run_for_president_now.html
