The Ecoomist (October 13)
Politicians, economists, investors and others have long argued whether China’s economy is “a bubble waiting to burst” or “a sustainable success.” The argument is shifting, however, as “a new debate is now emerging, which is potentially far nastier. Much of the world falls into one camp: admiring China’s accomplishments, but also reeling from a deluge of Chinese exports. In the other camp is China, utterly convinced of the rightness of its economic model.”

Wall Street Journal (July 28)
“Big companies are getting smaller—and their CEOs want everyone to know it.” Executives used to tiptoe around staff cuts, trying to avoid linguistic landmines. In contrast, corporate leaders are now “recasting the headcount reductions as accomplishments that position their businesses for change.” Similarly, they are increasingly likely to view “large workforces as an impediment, not an asset.”

New York Times (May 7)
Six months on, both Mr. Trump and Mrs. Clinton are still waging last year’s campaign, undermining their promises to help America heal. This is particularly offensive — and more than a little pathetic — coming from Mr. Trump, who after all has a nation to run.” Yet, he still has “no concrete accomplishments to boast about, and nothing meaningful to offer the working people to whom he promised jobs and a revived industrial America.”
