best business\news magazine

The Economist I receive The Economist, Fortune and Foreign Affairs (more journal-like). I tend to toss Fortune to the side and prefer The Economist. Foreign Affairs comes once every two months, and it's different, so you can't compare it, but I think it's a good addition to news.

What's our generation's claim to fame?

For the people he speak more then one language

Speak/Read/Write English, French, and Italian. I can speak persian fluently, and I can read/write it with a little trouble. I want to be able to read persian very fluently just because I'm really interested to read texts by Hafiz (or Hafez, however you wanna spell it). I'm still in...

A short list of books for those interested in the Vietnam "Conflict"

Question for Acura/BMW Owners

hehe this reminds of my parents' previous store's landlord. This dude was so rich, it was not funny. He owns a huge accounting firm, and owns *a lot* of commercial properties. ...now for his car, it was I think a late 80s Cressida. I know he had it as late as 2002/03, and he may still have...

Macro Vs. Micro

If you're just taking one of the two, I'd say go with micro. Macro deals with things like inflation, unemployment, trade, monetary aggregates etc. Micro deals with the economic decisions made by the various actors (ie: businnesses vs. households), factors that affect supply and demand, the...

VIDEO: North Korea (2 VIDEOS)

The paradox (read: hypocrisy) of France is that they are reaping the benefits of the global neo-liberal economy, and bashing it all at the same time. The US isn't close to being socialist. The UAW/GM thing going on right now is not because of socialist policies, but because...

Flying to Florida for an Interview

conspicuous consumption didn't suddenly start with capitalism, nor was it developed overnight as you imply. Things change over time, but the one thing that stays the same is that conspicuous consumption serves to bring class divisions to the surface and prevent tensions. Imagine if noone could...
