Morning Reading 2.8.2012

Morning Reading
An interesting insight on a "microtrend" that I have just been picking up on myself: women are getting more successful, men are stagnating or getting worse.  Good for workplace and income equality, probably bad for marriage markets.  It seems like our economic equality is moving faster than our views on gender roles and I wouldn't be surprised if the next couple of decades are rough on young successful women.  Look at DC: lots of young, attractive, stable, upper-middle class woman; not a lot of similar men.  There are either going to be a lot of mismatched relationships, imported rich men (China? Women are in short supply there . . . arbitrage opportunity), or single ladies.  Buyer's market for single stable men in the district. - Marginal Revolution (Tyler Cowen)

A nice long report on global liquidity.  Didn't read it yet, but it looks interesting - Bank of International Settlements
