What the first-quarter results make clearer is that the economy can grow more than 3% while holding real inflation below 2%. The same can be said about unemployment. The latest unemployment figures came in at 5.4%; that's well below the 6% unemployment figure that is supposed to trigger inflation through demands for higher wages, according to the standard view.

And why a Japanese would understand why this most autumnal of meditations is being published at the very time when most...
...they say, maybe it is possible--in principle, at least--to build an electronic machine that can do everything a human brain can do. They just think people like Dennett misunderstand the import of such a prospect: rather than bury old puzzles about consciousness, it resurrects them in clearer form than ever...
