1. A 2010 internal Spanish study found that green jobs cost jobs. Each green job destroyed 2.2 other jobs. Those hoping for an employment recovery might want to focus on more than just green jobs.

2. The transcript of my favorite polymath interviewing a popular utilitarian philosopher. If people could win interviews then it's fair to say that the polymath won. Be sure to read the part about the fish.

3. Unfortunately, a regime shift towards deflation doesn't seem very likely. (Hat tip: Jonathan)

The Tyler Cowen interview of Peter Singer was great!

Much better reading than watching--how did you find that transcript?

Tyler Cowen linked to it at some point. He also recently linked to notes from Peter's start up class (Mostly things you've heard before, about the importance of not really having competitors and of being a monopoly.)
