The Case for Capital Controls: In a letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Ron Kirk, the U.S. trade representative, 257 economists from around the world, including Joseph Stiglitz and Ricardo Huasmann, argue against provisions in trade treaties that could limit the use of capital controls.

A council house, otherwise known as a local authority house, is a form of public or social housing. The term is used primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Council houses were built and operated by local councils to supply uncrowded, well-built homes on secure tenancies at reasonable rents to primarily working-class people. Council house development began in the late 19th century and peaked in the mid-20th century, at which time council housing included many large suburban "council estates" and numerous urban developments featuring tower blocks. Many of these developments did not live up to the hopes of their supporters, and now suffer from urban blight.
