David Glasner is doing a series of posts which will help him prepare a paper for the Southern Economics Association, re the 100th anniversary of Ralph Hawtrey's "Good and Bad Trade". This is the first:http://uneasymoney.com/2013/08/21/why-hawtrey-and-cassel-trump-friedman-and-schwartz/
Lars Christensen also co-wrote a paper with several colleagues re who would be best suited for the position of Fed chair - Yellen or Summers: (looks like Obama has already made up his mind)

Marcus Nunes highlights the first "farewell" speech for Bernanke, by Binyamin Appelbaum:

Marcus also provides a link for the Robert Hall paper which got the Jackson Hole conference off to a not so good start:http://thefaintofheart.wordpress.com/2013/08/23/jackson-hole-conference-off-to-a-bad-start/
Sometimes The Economist is convinced I've read my "monthly quota" of articles already, so I'm always glad when Marcus catches a good Ryan Avent post which I might otherwise miss!

How much does the Fed tapering actually affect other countries? Scott Sumner asks why it would be a concern in particular, for Indonesia:

Surprisingly, I'm in agreement with John Cochrane for once, and so is Lars Christensen. However in my case I should clarify that people need better life choices than the current crop of banking options! Or...make banks irrelevant instead of heavy handed Fed regulation, which also would not work out as intended.http://marketmonetarist.com/2013/08/27/the-danger-of-an-all-powerful-central-banks-against-macroprudential-policies/
Lars also has an oped on prediction markets, linked in this post:
