Tuesday Readables

- Holy Hell: the curious economic effects of religion. (This idea probably deserves a post of its own - stay tuned)

- Immigration is very good economics for the United States

- The thinking economically about electric cars

- Gold as the next bubble (see also Buiter on gold as the world's only 6,000 year-old bubble - very smart analysis of gold as a fiat-commodity)

- Global macroimbalances are shrinking at a rapid rate (good). But only because international trade has collapsed (bad). The underlying problems remain.
