Description The Economists' Voice 2.0: The Financial Crisis, Health Care Reform, and More gathers together the strongest essays published in the Economist's Voice, a nonpartisan online journal, so informed readers and general audiences can gain a deeper understanding of the financial developments shaping their world. These essays are written by leading academics, economists, presidential advisors, legal specialists, researchers, consultants, and policy makers. One set of essays tackles the plain economics and architecture of health care reform, its implications for society and the future of the health insurance industry, and the value of the health insurance subsidies and exchanges built into the law. Another set considers the effects of financial regulatory reform, the possibilities for ratings reform, and the issue of limiting bankers' pay. An objective examination of the financial crisis and bank bailouts results in two indispensable essays on investment banking regulation after Bear Stearns and the positives and negatives of the Paulson/Bernanke bailout. A final section examines a unique array of topics: the stability of pension security bonds; the value of a carbon tax, especially in fostering economic and environmental sustainability; the counterintuitive perils of net neutrality; the unforeseen consequences of government debt; the meaning behind the Google book search settlement; and the unexploited possibilities for profit in NFL overtime games.
