The New York Times Magazine is getting in front of estimates that the U.S. GDP contracted again in the second quarter by slamming the country’s “obsession” with economic growth. The Times Magazine published an asinine interview with leftist economist Herman Daly headlined: “This Pioneering Economist Says Our Obsession With Growth Must End.” “Growth is the be-all and end-all of mainstream economic and political thinking,” Times Magazine staff writer David Marchese wrote in the introduction section. “Without a continually rising G.D.P., we’re told, we risk social instability, declining standards of living and pretty much any hope of progress.” What if, Marchese...

This morning's NYTimes Magazine includes a misguided--OK, an asinine--article by one Matt Bai on Karl Rove, the President's chief political strategist. Among Bai's lunkheaded ideas, presented with an air of totally undeserved intellectual superiority, is a charge of "conflict of interest."
