...husband Kurt, a contractor, have already missed out on two houses because they didn't bid fast enough. "Now it's every man for himself," Kurt says. "You have to play fair, put in a decent price." And then, just maybe, there will be rewards for the patient and prudent. "Someone else's loss," he says, "is another's blessing...
...there's being prudent with your money, and then there's something else - something I've been noticing among my friends in recent months.

Nearly 20 years after its peak in December 1989, when the Nikkei index nearly...
...Since World War II—even during the supposed libertarian love-fest and free-market free-for-all of the 1980s—states have invested in their people as well as forsaken integration and cooperation when prudent. Market intervention has always been part of the globalization process. But, too often, the market is viewed as a multilateral institution and the state as a pesky force of isolationism.
