Fund Architects Commentary
ADVISOR INSIGHTS - Pulling No Punches
So, activist investor Carl Icahn and the unfortunately-named Larry Fink, boss of BlackRock Inc., were brought to CNBC's optimistically-titled "Delivering Alpha" conference last week. Their expected debate, to be moderated by "Judge Wapner" no less, was ill-advisedly promoted as "A Conversation About Activist Investing." Uhh, not hardly. The Judge should've been a referee.
BlackRock became the world's biggest money manager in 2009 following acquisitions of State Street Research, Merrill Lynch Investment, and Barclay iShares Continue reading »
Quarterly Commentary - 2Q2015
U.S. equity indices posted mixed results for second quarter 2015 (2Q15) led slighter higher on a total return basis by large cap stocks as measured by S&P indexes. International stocks and emerging market equities as measured by MSCI EAFE and MSCI Emerging Markets achieved positive gains for the quarter. Both domestic and international bonds as measured by Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond and Barclays Global Aggregate Bond ex U.S. indexes provided negative returns as investors anticipate the U.S. Fed raising the Fed Funds rate and as the European Central Bank (ECB) continued their bond-buying program. Domestic and international REIT indices were lower as investor appetite diminished for these higher yielding sectors. Commodities, in a broad sense, rose during the quarter as oil prices rebounded from a near-term low set in March 2015. Continue reading »
ADVISOR INSIGHTS - Virtual Contrarian
Quick update: Greece has defaulted on its debts, corporate earnings have hit the wall, and the U.S. economy still meanders. Interest rates are expected to go up, bonds are expected to go down, and the stock market isn't expected to go much of anywhere.
And, oh yeah, the bitcoin just broke out to its highest level since March 23. Nobody expected that. Continue reading »
ADVISOR INSIGHTS - A Real Greek Tragedy
It's fairly well known that Greek tragedy is a form of theatre from Ancient Greece, Athens specifically. Less known, perhaps, is that players in 5th century BC established "rules" for their heartbreaking dramas. Indeed, plots were told in a trilogy – a series of three narratives designed to tell one long depressing story. Amazing how life imitates art.
The tragedy begins with a "prologue" where the background of the ensuing story is explained.
The IMF and eurozone governments have been keeping Greece afloat with some $279 billion in emergency loans for the past five years. But the eurozone portion of that bailout runs out June 30. With little sign of progress in talks on Greece's international bailout, policy makers are considering whether dispirited nation should stay in the Eurozone. Continue reading »
ADVISOR INSIGHTS - Out With the Old, In With the...Old
Hey, guess which fabled bond manager just won a new mandate from an investor not named Bill Gross? Why, it's Bill Gross, of course! Story goes that Old Mutual Global Investors, the South African relic with an anchor for a logo, announced that the erstwhile PIMCO chief will be taking over management of $270 million in assets for its Total Return USD Bond Fund. This is the first sub-advised win for Mr. Gross at his new employer – Janus and real chunk of cash for him to manage coming from anywhere other than the Morgan Stanley office in La Jolla, California. Proving once again there are no friends like old friends, Gross won the mandate from none other than PIMCO. Continue reading »
ADVISOR INSIGHTS - Hey…Wait A Second
Fact: Greenwich Mean Time is derived from measuring the sun's position in the sky at the Royal Observatory in London.
Fact: Coordinated Universal Time is based on a weighted average of the times of more than 400 atomic devices that measure the passage of time through the vibrations of atoms.
Fact: Nobody knows exactly what time it is. Continue reading »
ADVISOR INSIGHTS - Ghosts of Greenspan
Lest our investing spirits become a little too exuberant, current Fed Chief and aspiring market mystic Janet Yellen took time out last week to cast a chill over the irrational crowd. Indeed, speaking before the International Monetary Fund spooks in Washington, the Chairwoman suggested that, one, the years-long stock rally may have driven equity prices too high, and, two, debt-market investors are taking excessive risks. Eeeek! Continue reading »
ADVISOR INSIGHTS - Blurred Lines
Remember the good ol' days when all we had to worry about were simple scams like Ponzi schemes, pump-and-dump cons, and front-running frauds? It all seems so archaic now. Nowadays, humans – vile or otherwise – have been mostly removed from the marketplace, and in their places are machines with secret programs trading stocks too fast to be seen or recorded on a stock ticker or computer screen. We're in the era of high frequency trading, and the big boys are spending billions to get a peek at prices a "flash" before everyone else. Continue reading »
ADVISOR INSIGHTS - The Nifty Five Hundred
History tells us that by the time everyone in the financial markets spots a trend, it's over. Success becomes a fad and a fad inevitably becomes a failure. So what's up with the unremitting march into index funds? Word's going around that indexing has become so popular it's threatening the efficiency of the markets. Continue reading »
ADVISOR INSIGHTS - Hedge Fund, Doff Thy Name
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet.
According to the abstrusely-named research outfit HFR, Inc., there were more than 8,000 hedge funds in operation at the end of 2014. Allegedly, said funds were responsible for a staggering $2.8 trillion in assets under management, a threefold increase in the cumulative number over the last ten years. Puzzlingly, though, less than 1,200 of these firms use the term "hedge fund" in the "about us" section of their SEC investment adviser registration. And of the other 6,800? "O! be some other name." Continue reading »

A return to State of Origin could be confirmed for Warriors prop Jacob Lillyman tonight when Queensland announce their squad for game one.
The 30-year-old has six matches to his name, having debuted in 2006 and playing the last of those in 2011.
Last year it was a sweet and sour feeling for the man known as 'The Bull', when he was called up as 18th man for games two and three, but not required for match days.
"Yeah, that was. I think I'd much rather be playing than 18th man," Lillyman said after last night's NRL loss to the Bulldogs in Hamilton.
"Hopefully, if my form warrants it, then great, but it's out of my control and we'll just see what happens."
Lillyman is averaging a fine 140 metres a game this season, and yesterday made the most out of any Warriors player (162), while he also made 33 tackles.
Incumbents Matt Scott and Nate Myles will more than likely be Queensland's starting props. David Shillington was cast aside after game one last year and in came Josh Papalii, but both of those players are in an out of sorts Raiders team, while Ben Hannant (2008-12) has recently been out of favour at the Broncos.
"I haven't been watching too many of the other props," Lillyman said.
"But they've had guys there in the past that do the job, and they're pretty loyal the Maroons selectors."
Sam Thaiday's calf injury is set to rule him out of game one - at Suncorp Stadium on May 28 - and Aidan Guerra is a name that has emerged as a replacement. The selectors may also opt to retain fellow back-rowers Chris McQueen and Ben Te'o, but Lillyman would give them more punch.
"Obviously it'd be a great honour if [my] name was to get read out," Lillyman said. "But it's out of my control and I've just been trying to look after things at club level. If there's rewards off the back of that, then great, but we'll just see what happens."

TravelPod Member ReviewsMany Glacier Hotel Glacier National Park
This hotel is one of the historic hotels built about 100 years ago. I don't think the plumbing has been updated since then! The lobby with a huge fireplace is a great space to gather, play cards and watch the water. But the parking lot is a walk uphill about 2 flights and the room was only so-so.
Dad thinks this hotel is a 4 for historic significance.

TripAdvisor Reviews Many Glacier Hotel Glacier National Park
Travel Blogs from Glacier National Park
Surf and Turf
Yesterday's hike would be hard to top. So today, instead of trying for bigger and better, we went for different. We were hoping for a hiking experience that would be fun for all, even the non-hikers of the group. On the agenda was a combination boat ride across two lakes, a view of Grinnell Lake and then a flat, lakeside hike …
There's bears in them thar hills
Staying in a really peaceful spot, our own little log cabin on the quiet east side of Glacier National Park. No cell service for miles and hardly any stores etc. Traveled to Many Glacier Hotel, a historic old lodge built in the early 1900s by the Great Northern Railroad Company, to board a boat across Swiftcurrent Lake. A short hike to a second …
Day 2: Apgar to Many Glacier Area
... the ranger was also heading back and walked along with us and gave us some recommendations for other hikes and told us where else we would be likely to see grizzly bears and other wildlife in the park. The hike back was easier as most of the switchbacks were now downhill, we reached the parking lot about 12:30 p.m. We immediately stopped to fill up our water bottles and drink, we were very dehydrated.
We continued ...

Something I always get asked is how can I get more followers on Twitter or likes on Facebook or subscribers on YouTube. Basically how can I get more social media followers on whatever network it is they are using. People can get, rightly or wrongly, very hung up on the numbers. And yes they can be important – no-one wants to be sending out their content to thin air! BUT it's still better to have 10 people who care about what you do and buy your products or book your services, than millions who you can't possibly talk to all of them. Continue reading →
We're having April showers in May. I'm sat at my desk and staring out of my window at the growing garden, all that green being buffeted by the wind when I'm inside all cozy with my steaming mug of tea. Sat at my computer, chatting to other women business owners all around the world, I realise why I just love days like these. Although not the bits that involve me going out in it on the school run for example, but the dash down the garden to collect the eggs from my hens is still fun!
I love what they help flourish. My garden, full of fledgling plants and my ability to sit and reflect on them and my business from my comfy office chair.
It reminds me of times that I have felt buffeted by all the noise on my social networks, when people have disagreed with my take on social marketing, when I've felt my voice was drowned and whipped away into the ether by the wind of the internet! All those times I've nearly quit, because a regular pay check and paid holiday and sick leave look very attractive. But it is in times like these that I always remember the amazing experiences and clients I have had and get to work with – as well as all those reports that I hated writing! Continue reading →
Now this is really important. Because it's about what I stand for the most which is connection. True connection with your tribe. Marketing may say it's all about the numbers, growing your list to over several thousand, having more than 600 Facebook likes and a million followers on twitter and Instagram, but are they real connections? Are they people who care about what you say and that you want to hear from?
Whilst there is always an argument for bigger numbers and statistics showing a tipping point, there is an equally valid one for having smaller numbers of people who actually talk to you. As I always say:
Building real connections with people is what builds your tribe in the first place. That can get harder to do as you grow but it is not impossible. So how do you go about building that connection? Continue reading →
I'm pretty sure that it isn't bored, obligated or a bit scared actually. Yet this is often the case when I ask my client's how they feel when they sit and write their content. Although, to be fair they are usually surprised that this is a question that I ask in the first place! Because why is what you feel important when we are talking about your business social media? I mean it's there to attract new customers and bring in leads, right?! So why ask about feelings at all!!
And the simple answer is because how we are feeling when we sit down to write our content comes across in our tone, our choice of words, the length of a blog post and how we convey (or don't!) our passion for what we do. Continue reading →
Rather than thinking about the latest trends in social media in 2015 (hint: you still need to get the hang of video if you want to succeed!) or what the next up and coming social network will be THE next big thing, why not get clear on what your intentions are for your social media marketing activity instead. This may seem counter intuitive as it may not feel like a measurable or rational thing to do in business but setting intentions, asking the universe to provide something specific and then being open to the opportunities that it brings up, can be a very powerful thing. If you are like me then you already set intentions in your daily life and in your business, so why leave out your social media marketing?
Think about what you want to improve on, whether that is spending less time procrastinating or giving your blog the attention it deserves or perhaps it's about actually getting people to come back to your website rather than sharing other people's content all of the time as that has been easier to do.
Declaring an intention essentially means you are directing your own mind on what you want to achieve, and helping you achieve goals within your online marketing but you are reminding yourself about them more frequently through your intentions. Without them you can end up stagnating in your marketing objectives because you aren't challenging yourself by giving yourself that direction you are allowing things to align so they can happen.

Product description
"Doing good can help improve your prospects, your profits, and your business; and it can change the world. We must change the way we do business". (Richard Branson). Can we bring more meaning to our lives and help change the world at the same time? In "Screw Business as Usual", Richard Branson at his brilliant and motivating best, shares some fascinating and inspiring stories about the people who are already leading the way in transforming business into a force for good, for people and for the planet. Reflecting on some of his own experiences, and those of the Virgin Group, he also shares his new vision for the future and describes how businesses can help create a more prosperous world for everyone. It's time to turn capitalism upside down - to shift our values, to switch from a just profit focus to caring for people, communities and the world and to turn our work into something we both love and are proud of. It's time to "Screw Business as Usual".

Later on the demand is made for the elimination of the authority of 'those who have misled and deceived the people of Japan.' It's clearly directed at the people in power at that time, which could include the Emperor, but there's nothing here that demands the complete dismantling of the imperial institution. 'Unconditional surrender' is specifically directed to apply to the Japanese armed forces. Also, the term 'utter devastation' is a strong indication of what might be coming. Continue reading

But there are some true believers... John Cochrane, for example, has a long list of structural reforms that he thinks will do the trick. Now some of these are probably good ideas, and some are probably bad. But... belief that we can reform our way to sustained higher growth... boils down to faith and hope.

**Must-Read: Paul Krugman**: [Fire Phasers](http://equitablegrowth.org/?p=12685): "Jeb Bush doesn't just want Americans to work more hours; he also wants to 'phase out' Medicare.... >...Fact-checking organizations please note, by the way. The next time Democrats say that Republicans want to destroy Medicare, and Republicans start screaming that this is a lie, remember that when talking to their own people like Jeb themselves call what they're proposing a plan to, yes, end Medicare....

**Live from Bullwinkle Plaza: Ezra Klein**: [On Paul Krugman's theory of hipsters](http://equitablegrowth.org/?p=12661): "Krugman suggests that hipsters are signaling a rejection of the workaday bourgeois world by flouting conventional dress codes... >...I think the truth is closer to the opposite: They're signaling a mastery of the workaday bourgeois world by flouting conventional dress codes. You can find a gentler version of this in Silicon Valley, where hackers proved their skills so valuable that they won the right to dress however they wanted. Eventually, shorts and sandals became something weirdly close to a uniform. To wear a tie to work came to signal that you weren't good enough at coding, and thus didn't have the market power and independence to not wear a tie.... >I suspect something similar is going on with topknots and tattoos. The trappings of the urban hipster don't signal the absence of a job but rather the presence of the right kind of job — the kind of job that values your individual, creative talents enough that you can be covered in ink and a lumberjack's beard and still pull down a comfortable wage. That's particularly true when you spy the aesthetic in the hipper parts of Brooklyn,... Continue reading
**Must-Read:** Richard Fisher became President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas in April 2005. He spent ten years as a regional bank President. I cannot think of a single case in which he was pulling the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee toward a more correct assessment of the current economic situation and of the major risks to it. And I cannot think of an episode in which, after events had proved his views of major risks erroneous, he ever marked his beliefs to market in any substantive ways. Surely that is worth mentioning at least once in an article about the Dallas Fed? Can anybody make a case to me that _Wall Street Journal_ reporter Michael Derby's failure to even whisper this in his article is any way professional? **Michael Derby**: [Dallas Fed Struggles to Fill Fisher's Big Shoes](http://equitablegrowth.org/?p=12683): "The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas is taking its time picking a new president.... >...Former president Richard Fisher stepped down March 19....

**Must-Read:** The process of creating a market--especially as delicate and complicated a market as a market for debt and equity investments in relatively large-scale enterprises--is not a straightforward process. Here Venture and Voth argue that the spillovers from the creation of the "technology" of a debt marketplace were enormous, as only after the government had dug the channels through which debt would flow for its own war-fighting purposes could first canal companies, then manufacturing companies, and then railroad companies take advantage of them. **Jaume Ventura and Hans-Joachim Voth**: [Debt miracle: Why the country that borrowed the most industrialised first](http://equitablegrowth.org/?p=12681): "Is debt really that bad?... >...This column looks at the towering debts, rapid tax hikes, and constant state of war that led to Britain's Industrial Revolution, showing that the devil is in the detail when assessing sovereign debt.... Towering debts, rapidly rising taxes, constant and expensive wars, a debt burden surpassing 200% of GDP. What are the chances that a country with such characteristics would grow rapidly? Almost anyone would probably say 'none'.

**History.com**: [Fugitive Vichy leader surrenders in Austria](http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/fugitive-vichy-leader-surrenders-in-austria): >Pierre Laval, the puppet leader of Nazi-occupied Vichy France, surrenders to American authorities in Austria, who extradite him to France to stand trial. >Laval, originally a deputy and senator of pacifist tendencies, shifted to the right in the 1930s while serving as minister of foreign affairs and twice as the French premier. A staunch anti-communist, he delayed the Soviet-Franco pact of 1935 and sought to align France with Fascist Italy. Hostile to the declaration of war against Germany in 1939, Laval encouraged the antiwar faction in the French government, and with the German invasion in 1940 he used his political influence to force an armistice with Germany. Henri Petain took over the new Vichy state, and Laval served as minister of state. Laval was dismissed by Petain in December 1940 for negotiating privately with Germany. >By 1942, Laval had won the trust of Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, and the elderly Petain became merely a figurehead in the Vichy regime. As the premier of Vichy France, Laval collaborated with the Nazi programs of oppression and genocide and increasingly became a puppet of Hitler. After the Allied liberation of France, he was forced to flee... Continue reading

**Must-Watch:** Really, really bad news for the American economy. Alan Krueger concludes that we are now near "full employment" in a monetary policy-Federal Reserve-inflation sense. The implications? The implications are: 1. that the failure of the government and the Federal Reserve to more aggressively boost recovery has turned what was excess cyclical non-employment into structural non-employment, 2. that essentially none of the drop in production relative to the pre-2008 trend can or will be recouped without noticeably higher inflation. **Alan Krueger**: [Labor Force Participation](http://equitablegrowth.org/?p=12679): <(https://vimeo.com/134932856)>: Via [Mark Thoma](http://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/2015/07/video-nber-feldstein-lecture-by-alan-krueger-on-labor-force-participation.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+EconomistsView+%28Economist%27s+View%29). * * ---- Continue reading

**Must-Read: Steven Greenhouse**: [Jeb Bush 'Should Be Embarrassed' by His Overtime Pay Claims](http://equitablegrowth.org/?p=12670): "Jeb Bush... said Barack Obama's proposal to expand overtime pay... >...would result in "less overtime pay" and "less wages earned".... Daniel Hamermesh, a University of Texas labor economist, said: "He's just 100% wrong," adding that "there will be more overtime pay and more total earnings" and "there's a huge amount of evidence employers will use more workers".... Indeed, a Goldman Sachs study estimated that employers would hire 120,000 more workers in response to Obama's overtime changes. And a similar study commissioned by the National Retail Federation--a fierce opponent of the proposed overtime rules--estimated that as a result of the new salary threshold, employers in the restaurant and retail industries would hire 117,500 new part-time workers... cost the increased US retail and restaurant industries $9.5bn a year, unless those industries made money-saving changes in response.... Jared Bernstein, former chief economist for vice-president Joe Biden and a senior economist with the liberal Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, said... "If employers want to avoid overtime pay, they hire more workers on straight time and that creates new jobs," Bernstein said. "Even staunch opponents agree with that and disagree with...

The reverse is true for candidates who are seen by the press as long shots, such as Rand Paul and Ben Carson.... Press attention both leads and lags public attention to the candidates.... The public can take cues from the media about which candidates to pay attention to. But the media also gets a lot of feedback from the public.... If Trump-related stories are piling up lots of pageviews and Trump-related TV segments get good ratings, then guess what? You're probably going to see more of them. This creates the possibility of a feedback loop.... It may help to explain why we've repeatedly seen the so-called 'discovery, scrutiny and decline' cycle in the past two primary campaigns for candidates like Trump, Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain--bursts of attention that coincide with spikes in the polls but then fade or even burst after several weeks.......

But the overall shape of events has been very Keynesian, and very much at odds with alternative stories. >And at this point I think we need to chalk up another success.... American economists warned about exactly the flaws in the euro that are now the source of so much suffering. Beckworth reminds us of a January 2010 article by Jonung and Drea that has become an accidental classic.... They provided an impressive bibliography and literature review of academic euroskepticism--and in so doing provided us with a sort of honor roll, because all the dire warnings from those ugly Americans came to pass within months of their article's publication. >So why were the ugly Americans right? Because the theory of optimum currency areas turns out to be basically right. And that theory is best seen, I'd argue, as... Continue reading
**Must-Read:** I had always thought that we had a mixed economy and the social safety net in large part to counter and correct the market's judgment as to who deserved to have resources used for their benefit. And I had always thought that this was an obvious and well-understood part of benefit-cost analysis. Have I in fact been wrong? Is this not well-understood? Do the younger economists--the kids these days!--Really think that the rights function for assessing societal well-being roughly multiplies each person's utility by their individual income? **Harold Pollack, Bill Gardner, and Timothy Jost**: [Valuing Medicaid](http://prospect.org/article/valuing-medicaid): "Finkelstein and her colleagues placed a very low value... >...$25,000--on a year of additional life for Medicaid beneficiaries.

If you start out by assuming that Medicaid beneficiaries' lives are worth very little, you will find that it is not worth spending much money to prolong them.

Alfred Marshall and Mary Marshall (1885), *Economics of Industry*, Book III: Market Value: Chapter 1: Changes in the Purchasing Power of Money : >(4) After every crisis, in every period of commercial depression, it is said that supply is in excess of demand. Of course there may easily be an excessive supply of some particular commodities.... But something more than this is meant.... The warehouses are overstocked... in almost every important trade; scarcely any trade can continue undiminished production so as to afford a good rate of profits.... >And it is thought that this state of things is one of general over-production.... But it really is nothing but... commercial disorganization... the remedy... is a revival of confidence. To begin with...as [John Stuart] Mill says: >>What constitutes the means of payment for commodities is simply commodities.... Could we suddenly double the productive powers of the country, we should double the supply... but... by the same stroke, double the purchasing power.... >But though men have the power to purchase they may not choose to use it.

**History.com**: [Battle of Hooge](http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/battle-of-hooge): >In Flanders, Belgium, on July 30, 1915, the Germans put their new weapon, the flammenwerfer, or flamethrower, to devastating use against the Allies at the Battle of Hooge. >The Battle of Hooge represented one of the first major employments of the flamethrower, one of the most feared weapons introduced during World War I. Eleven days before the battle, British infantry had captured the German-occupied village of Hooge, located near Ypres in Belgium, by detonating a large mine. Using the flamethrowers to great effect, along with machine guns, trench mortars and hand grenades, the Germans reclaimed their positions on July 30, 1915, penetrating enemy front lines with ease and pushing the British forces back to their second trench. Though few men were lost to actual burns, a British officer reported later, the weapons had a great demoralizing effect, and when added to the assault of the other powerful weapons, they proved mercilessly efficient at Hooge. >German troops had started with stationary flamethrowers, which allowed them to take large gains of land at Verdun in February 1915. Through the efforts of Bernhard Reddemann, a reserve captain, and Richard Fiedler, a Berlin engineer, the Germans progressed to smaller, lighter... Continue reading
**Must-Read: Jérémie Cohen-Setton, Joshua K. Hausman, and Johannes F.

This quickly ended deflation, but output stagnated. We present time-series and cross-sectional evidence that the supply-side policies, in particular the 40-hour law, contributed to French stagflation. These results are inconsistent both with the standard one- sector new Keynesian model and with a two-sector model calibrated to match our cross-sectional estimates. We propose an alternative, disequilibrium model consistent with expansionary effects of lower real interest rates and contractionary effects of higher real wages. This model and our empirical evidence suggest that without supply-side problems, France would have recovered rapidly after leaving the gold standard. > Continue reading

To shed light on this period and the possibility of different regional monetary policies in a currency union, I document with daily data that periods of non-uniformities in discount rates did not disappear after the New Deal reform of the Fed, although their size and duration substantially diminished. Using a monthly panel VAR for the period where member bank borrowing was a preponderant means of reserve provision, I show that regional deviations in discount rates were associated with regional deviations in member bank borrowings and local market interest rates. Rather than resulting from imperfect financial integration between districts or from a banker's tradition against borrowing, I argue that differing regional monetary policies were made possible by the use of qualitative controls, which although ineffective at directing credit to a specific use, put a upper bound on inter-district arbitrage.

**Must-Read:** The very sharp Kevin O'Rourke concludes that it is time to throw in the towel on the eurozone. I think it is worth one more throw of the dice: perhaps European macroeconomic stabilization regulation can be moved out of the hands of the Eurocracy in Brussels and Frankfurt and into a more general North Atlantic macroeconomic stabilization regulatory apparatus in Washington. A utopian project? Yes, but worth attempting. If that does not work--or if that is not attempted--I cannot find any holes in Kevin's logic: **Kevin Hjortshøj O'Rourke**: [Moving on From the Euro](http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/eurozone-failed-experiment-by-kevin-o-rourke-2015-07): "European Monetary Union was never a good idea... >...I remember my surprise when, as a young assistant professor, I realized that I was opposed to the Maastricht Treaty....

I made these for my family and everyone agrees that these are the best brownies they've ever had! My husband is now calling them the "dangerous" brownies because they are too good to just eat one :-)
