The economy has a new boss.

• People in North Korea are upset over the government's attempt to limit their wealth.

• Heather MacDonald has a great post-Christmas rant about politicians' contempt for business.

• Mark Perry on "green protectionism" in the European Union.

• The Wall Street Journal has an article detailing the massive role government plays in the economy after the bailouts. Of course, its role before the bailouts was pretty considerable as well.

• John Tamny makes the point that it is saving, not consumption, which drives the economy.
