Barack Obama’s Promises – Advice Taken
Back in November, I wrote a post advising then President-Elect Barack Obama how to make lots of promises, but not necessarily keep them.

Warcraft Economics – Auctions, Profiteering, and Helping Others

Stimulate Me – How Obama Could Win the Economic War

Advice for President-Elect Obama: International Policy
As the latest in my ongoing series of posts advising President-Elect Obama, I’d like to approach international issues. This may be a moot point, since Obama already has many international ties. Regardless, I’ll try to hit some high points. I won’t bother with advising on interactions with the palestinians, since Obama has ties to the [...]
