| Cars and the 'Burbs: A Policy Question Ryan Avent submits: Liberal bloggers appear to have gotten results, and Tyler Cowen has recently been blogging on metropolitan development. On the whole, his posts are pretty interesting reads, though urbanist readers won’t find much new there. Tyler has also generated some nice responses, including a couple from Mike Konczal.

Why Overseas Shipholding (And You) Should Buy DHT Maritime Benjamin Mackovak submits:Sifting through the beaten and the unknown is where investors are most likely to find the greatest pricing inefficiencies and resulting alpha opportunities in the stock market.
