...everything we learned at Harvard. Ec 10 was full of hard data and macrovariables, but our new employee pamphlets told us that investment banking is really all about people...people investing in banks. Mankiw talks a big game, but we doubt he’s ever wiped down an ATM after hours. And here’s a sneak peak of the future that not even Amartya Sen can provide: it really is full of pneumatic tubes and you’ll never have to leave your car to do investment banking again. As the summer went on, the negative...
...saying that Osteen and his ilk have it "half right": that God's goodness is biblical, as is the idea that he means us to enjoy the material world. But while Prosperity claims to be celebrating that goodness, the critics see it as treating God as a celestial ATM. "God becomes a means to an end, not the end in himself," says Southwestern Baptist's Phillips. Others are more upset about what it de-emphasizes. "[Prosperity] wants the positive but not the negative," says another Southern Baptist, Alan Branch of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, Mo. "Problem...
...speedy trial. "We want a trial as fast as we can get it," attorney Kirk Osborn said. "This young kid wants to go to school in the fall and he can't until this is resolved."

Among high school seniors, 4 out of 5 have never taken a personal-finance class, but nearly half have an ATM debit card, and more than a quarter have bounced a check, according to a survey of 5,775 teens, released in April by the nonprofit JumpStart Coalition for Financial Literacy. If those trends continue, declaring bankruptcy could become as common as earning a bachelor's degree...
...Republicans turned on Big Oil, an industry they normally treat like a good neighbor--or an ATM. In a particularly delicious bit of populist sophistry, the party led by two oil guys that is pro-business, antitax and antigovernment meddling was talking loudly about greedy petro-executives, IRS audits of oil-company tax returns and withdrawing $2 billion in industry-specific tax breaks over 10 years. That's about a month's worth of profits for ExxonMobil, which announced quarterly earnings of $8.4 billion. "Listen, we've got people like this that are working for a living, who are paying...
