Feast your brain on magazine’s Ideas issue
My favorite annual issue of The New York Times Magazine is the Year in Ideas. The 8th annual issue was published Sunday. As usual, there’s a lot there to think about. Given the state of the economy, I was struck by several ideas involving business, finance and public policy: Locavestors, the Quinn Solution, the Rising Tide Tax System, Smart Grids and the Two-Tier Teacher Contract. But the magazine describes innovative ideas of all kinds, some of which may one day be common — a new kind of fuel-efficient automobile engine and a different kind of dinner meat that would ease global warming. Plus, there’s Bubble Wrap and the Vending Machine for Crows. Dig in, and see what interests you.
