Impasse between Germany, central bank weighs down Europe
Concern that the 18-country currency union, which accounts for 17 percent of the world economy, has no clear path out of its economic trouble is among the key factors in this week’s global market turmoil. After a mere four quarters of sluggish recovery from its crisis over government debt, the bloc saw no growth at all in the second quarter. Not only that, but the eurozone has dangerously low inflation, which can depress growth over years, if not decades. A sudden decline in exports and industrial activity in Germany, long the region’s source of growth, heightened those concerns.

Poor kids who do everything right don’t do better than rich kids who do everything wrong
The idea of a meritocracy is a myth. Don't believe me, look at the research. "Even poor kids who do everything right don't do much better than rich kids who do everything wrong. Advantages and disadvantages, in other words, tend to perpetuate themselves. ... Specifically, rich high school dropouts remain in the top about as much as poor college grads stay stuck in the bottom — 14 versus 16 percent, respectively. Not only that, but these low-income strivers are just as likely to end up in the bottom as these wealthy ne'er-do-wells. Some meritocracy."
