Tackle from the Blind Side

One of my favorite authors is Michael Lewis. Besides his great books he publishes a number of articles at places like Vanity Fair and Bloomberg News. I've been advised to read his VF article on Iceland's collapse over the weekend.

But for now, I'll give you this gem:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601039&refer=columnist_lewis&sid=atlHxXH7FweQ

It superbly covers the misplaced blame that politicians like to assign without delving into and fixing the problems at hand. It also emphasizes something that I try and emphasize here - the correct framing of numbers as support to an argument.

Happy Friday!
