Auf dem Weg zu nachhaltigen Staatsfinanzen
Laut Bundesfinanzministerium dient die Schuldenbremse der Sicherung der langfristigen Tragfähigkeit der Haushalte von Bund und Ländern, sowie der Sicherung der finanziellen Handlungsspielräume zur Erfüllung der staatlichen Aufgaben. So ist es im Grundgesetz in Artikel 109 festgeschrieben. Artikel 115 erläutert näher, dass der Bund strukturell, also unabhängig von der konjunkturellen Lage nur Nettokredite im Rahmen von 0,35% des Bruttoinlandproduktes vornehmen darf.

Bank Underground
"Bank Underground" is the staff blog of the Bank of England, founded to publish the views and insights of the people working for one of the world's oldest central banks. The blog covers a wide range of macroeconomic topics, mostly linked to the effects of monetary policy, of course, but not all the time. It provides timely, relevant analysis of contemporary challenges in economic policy and is thus often a perfect primer.

What’s Behind the Subprime Consumer Loan Implosion?
This content submission has two parts: (1) a link to the post by Wolf Richter on deterioration of US subprime credit card debt and loans, driven in part by the overuse of hedonic quality adjustments in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) used by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, and (2) to introduce Exploring Economics to the website Naked Capitalism, which is an effort to promote critical thinking through the medium of a finance and economics blog and fearless commentary.
