Bernanke, they warn, doesn't share some of their basic positions on issues such as taxation. By contrast, curiously enough, Paul Krugman - standard bearer of the Left in national economic debates and often a fierce critic of Greenspan - appears to welcome the nomination of his former Princeton colleague, although he fears that Bernanke's tenure at the White House may have compromised his independence...

Bush and Clinton administrations both demonstrated a relatively restrained foreign policy. In contrast, the overly ambitious and unilateral “Bush Doctrine” has alienated allies, sparked new resentments, and created serious concerns about the responsible wielding of American power. These familiar complaints take on new weight in the context of Walt’s larger theoretical framework. The methodical structure...
