This week's Economist stories

Since you all liked the story from The Economist about the mayor's race I put up last week, I've decided to start linking to a few stories from them every week. They spit out their RSS feed on Thursdays.

We are all Belgians now
If you thought it was difficult to build a coalition to govern in this city, imagine the mess of the European Parliament.

The retiree's autopilot
A useful reminder of why only government entities and unions have pensions anymore, and a novel way that one group is trying to make people's plans for retirement match what they do in their 401(k) plans and the like.

Camden's crisis: Ungovernable?
A reminder of what can happen in New Orleans if we don't get things right.

Loathing Joe Lieberman
Get to know #60.
