Cohen on Soccer & Brooks on Two Capitalisms

Roger Cohen writes in the NYT about Kissinger, soccer (football), and how it all relates to international politics. Fun.

David Brooks addresses the topic of free market capitalism vs. state capitalism, taking off from Ian Bremmer's new book, The End of the Free Market: Who Wins the War Between States and Corporations?. As usual, Brooks gives a complex topic a careful consideration within the very limited confines of a newspaper column.
