...played this style of politics better than Democrats. Winning elections by making government look foolish is a more natural strategy for the antigovernment party. But there's no guarantee Democrats won't one day try something similar. Were a Republican President and Congress to make a genuine effort to rein in entitlement spending, Democrats might act in much the same way McConnell and company are acting now. At its core, vicious-circle politics isn't an assault on liberal solutions to hard problems; it's an assault on any solutions to hard problems. It's no surprise that Democrats couldn...

...premiums paying claims, a threshold that's lower, for example, than those in Washington, New York and New Jersey.

Moves to limit clawbacks only to deferred compensation (money that is earned but not paid out until a specified future date), which is the easiest to recover, may actually increase risky behavior. What's more, clawbacks vary widely from firm to firm. Some provisions only cover top executives; other firms exclude top executives from the plans...

...Unnamed isn't a grim novel, exactly, but it's grim-ish. Only rarely does Ferris show the nice touch with a comic digression that he gave free rein to in Then We Came to the End. (Though there is a one-off about a man named Lev with a sexual fetish involving exotic snakes, which I choose to accept as an hommage ŕ moi.)
