Capital controls are coming and other links
Here are the links for today. I have been doing double duty because I am doing the links over at Naked Capitalism too while Yves is away. I appreciate link suggestions from readers, by the way. So ping me with links via twitter, which I use a decent amount to tweet or retweet stories as I find them. I am @edwardnh.
