UN Security Council: Vetoing Change
They not only won a war: the WWII victorious powers (plus France, not exactly victorious) also won the right to veto whatever resolution they found distasteful in the United Nations Security Council, the intergovernmental body that was set up to prevent the recurrence of such conflicts. Seven decades on, we still see the US, Russia and China vetoing anything deemed to affect their particular interests. New CESifo research appraises the equity and efficiency of the current structural reform proposals, which are celebrating twenty years of deliberations. A key aspect of their analysis is a computer simulation spanning 100,000 years. They will need them.

The Undead Crisis
Watch out: the euro crisis is only pretending to be dead. According to Hans-Werner Sinn, it will rear its head once more to rob leaders, and taxpayers, of their sleep. It is just about to enter its seventh stage.

Unhappy Union
True: this is not a CESifo book. But for everyone who'd always wished the Charlemagne column in The Economist were as long as a book, and for a non-academic, Economist-style analysis of the euro crisis, this is your book. Written by John Peet, the Economist's Europe Editor and a long-time chairman of Munich Economic Summit discussions, and Anton La Guardia, the Charlemagne columnist, it is a clear-headed romp from before the euro was introduced to today and beyond. Check it out.

Wind Candy
This is no candy wrapper. It is what the world map looks like if you size countries according to the number of windfarms they have. In other words, according to their commitment to wind energy. Denmark becomes a world giant, as do Germany, France and Spain, while Latin America looks like a dried acorn and Russia becomes a mere stroke on the canvas. And Africa ... hey, where did it go? Did someone cut it out?
