Many in finance, particularly the more lightly regulated areas of finance like hedge funds, are shocked at the idea of the government's prying eyes and intrusion in their business affairs. They shouldn't be: the government has long been intrusive when it comes to large mergers because they can threaten the public's interest. Merger policy could provide a useful guide for financial reform according to Aaron Edlin and Richard Gilbert, two antitrust specialists from UC Berkeley.

How Congress can reduce future deficits while stimulating today's economy? University of Delaware economist Laurence Seidman argues that legislators should enact a budget that maintains balance under normal unemployment levels, and a fiscal stimulus package with a clause that phases out the package as the economy returns to full employment.
