The Shlaes Plan

http://www.futureofcapitalism.com/2010/07/the-shlaes-plan

Amity Shlaes has been astonishingly prolific lately -- a piece for AOL News July 8, a piece for the Wall Street Journal July 13, and a piece for Bloomberg also published July 13.

The best of the three pieces in my view is the Bloomberg column: "What is failing us isn't our economy, but our politics," she writes, calling for humility in government. She likes Rep. Paul Ryan and Governor Mitch Daniels, and she suggests cutting taxes and regulations, abandoning fiscal stimulus, and reducing expectations about entitlements. She preemptively acknowledges her plan will be "ridiculed," but says it's worth laying out nonetheless.
