They can also look to two academically revered, if publicly obscure, left-leaning French economists whose work is the subtext for the battle over tax fairness.
* Argentina's president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, announced on Monday that the government would seize a majority stake in YPF, the nation's largest oil company.
* As the euro zone crisis shows signs of heating up again, political leaders are once more looking to the European Central Bank for help.
* The just-released Friday ratings for the morning shows gave ABC the good news it had long been waiting for - "Good Morning America" had more total viewers in the week of April 9 than the "Today" show.
