An Examination of Key Factors in the Collapse of the Soviet Union

The racist Intellectuals

A hundred years ago, the fact that people from different racial backgrounds had very different rates of success in education, in the economy and in other endeavors, was taken as proof that some races were genetically superior to others.

Some races were considered to be so genetically inferior that eugenics was proposed to reduce their reproduction, and Francis Galton urged “the gradual extinction of an inferior race.”

It was not a bunch of fringe cranks who said things like this. Many held Ph.D.s from the leading universities, taught at the leading universities and were internationally renowned.

In Defence of Plastic Bags

I have always felt that banning of plastic bags is anti-middle class. The rich & corrupt elite does not have to do their own shopping, they employ dozens of servants, so they don't need plastic bags. 

Less than 1% of all litter is plastic bags.

How can anyone still defend Hugo Chávez?

There are many ways to measure the destruction. First, there is the economic toll: Venezuela is suffering from food shortages, goods shortages, electricity shortages, and 22 percent inflation. The state-run oil firm PDVSA has seen its debt load increase by 150 percent since 2007. The Heritage Foundation’s Index of Economic Freedom says that even Communist Cuba respects property rights more than Venezuela does. And the South American nation might well be headed for a sovereign default.

5 Ways To Transform Your Life Just By Changing Your Vocabulary

According to the National Science Foundation, we have as many as 50,000 thoughts per day. Many of them are basic: “step,” “grab that,” “move.” But there are also many repeating messages.

A New Year's Resolution for Macroeconomists

Instead of being caused by the gap between actual and potential output, as is the case in most modern macroeconomic models of the business cycle, price inflation is a result of money growth relative to economic growth in the economy. Low and stable price inflation need not coincide with sustainable economic growth, if newly created money is being sopped up by an increased amount of goods being produced in patterns that are not consistent with the underlying preferences of consumers or producers in the economy.

A real environmental audit

In her article in The Indian Express, Tavleen Singh says, "Instead of wasting time on this kind of thing, why does the Prime Minister not demand a full audit of the Environment Ministry? If it is unable to explain where the money meant for cleaning our sacred rivers went then it should be closed down with immediate effect. But, it would be unfair if I ended this piece without pointing out that if our so-called environmental NGOs had been more interested in the environment than in self-promotion, this ministry would have been brought to book long ago. It has managed to get away with ineptitude and a long history of corrupt practices because nobody has asked the right questions. What is worse is that nobody has even demanded from this ministry that most fundamental of things: measurable standards."
