Urbanamics - The regulation Vs subsidy debate and international trade law

Angry Bear - Food, Energy and Cars and Driverless Cars (My thoughts here.)

The Best of this Week

Facebook buys Instagram. DOJ sues Apple. Yglesias on manufacturing policy. Matthew Kahn does some consumption math.

Forget the Factories - Matt Yglesias (In response to this and this.) Great discussion all around.

Not-proven: The DOJ suit Against Apple for eBook pricing - Richard Epstein. Good points on basic monopoly practices.
