When certain countries rediscover the political will to engage in macro level high tech industry and infrastructure building, they should keep in mind a few simple things. Physical architecture to spur creativity and plug and play integrated chains from concept to industrial production. Western elites have a short amount of time to jump start a new wave of industrialization (to avoid being

A now familiar scene in Northern Hemisphere Since it has served its purpose of stabilizing and consolidating the 20 year old country, Putinism is officially on the decline. Its future, if it is to survive, is either coalition governance with communists or radical transformation towards long term construction of a post-scarcity societal model. The ruling rich man's party in the Kremlin has

The forest was in chaos. Parts of it were burning and the food was scarce. Remembering how wonderful the forest used to be, various animal groups sent ambassadors to a very ancient owl. The wise owl remembered  historical cycles and hopefully had clues on how to reset the forest so it could be productive again. They gathered by the gargantuan oak tree where the owl lived.

The "Arab Spring" has a chance to really last if the protesters formulate and demand a coherent anti-imperialist and mainly economic developmental program Some have compared the CIA backed Middle Eastern protests to the failed wave of liberal uprising around Europe in 1848. That description however may only apply to the protests against the regional monarchies and not the Arab republics.

Macro level news has been rather depressing recently. The global human herd needs a psychological and social uplift in the form of putting one of the homo sapiens onto a planetary neighbor, Mars. Such an achievement will speak well of development in cultural and political prioritization. Hundreds of millions of world's children also need an additional, inspirational, and visible

This rich man's propaganda wont infect the majority of American intelligentsia.

The Pragmatist has accumulated enough articles to attempt a general developmental outline for the world until 2050.

Nature doesn't cut back during an economic depression. The idiocy of infrastructural austerity will remove humans from vast stretches of formerly inhabited territory.

Both mainstream and dissident observers are coming up with "biflation" as an explanatory term to describe where we are as a planetary economy.

It is not a secret anymore that the "choice" between raising taxes and cutting public services is a false one. Shrinking the government without drowning it in any bathtub is something we lost sight of. Similar to how the amount of workers in agriculture sector went from a quarter of the labor force to 1% of it, the government workers can shrink in numbers while delivering more. This involves

Both countries stand to gain from violent confrontation within F.A.R.C. controlled Colombian territory. The danger of the current escalation calls for direct Brazilian involvement to help resolve it The recent defeat of Tamil Tigers by Sri Lankan leadership reminded the world of a simple truth.

Demand for big capital intensive consumer products like hospitals, trains, spacecraft, schools, bridges can only be adequately provided by the state The sight of former textile and paper factories being turned into overpriced lofts in many Western cities shows how light industry can pick up its belongings and leave the country at a moment's notice.

Modern psychology and brain anatomy studies reinforce the need for proportional representation democracy. That is because roughly 80% of people have brains that predispose them towards protection of the status quo We've all come across people who just seem incapable of modifying their perspective based on new data being presented.

Vladimir Putin has come on the Russian political scene when the country was in a weakened state and not yet fully consolidated. Legalistic reforms to improve state effectiveness and economic grounding have proven difficult until Putin began to build and use client patron networks with Russia's power elites. This allowed him to finally stabilize the new country through centralization and at

Perhaps the biggest stumbling block that libertarian ideology faces is that human self-interest may be based more on power rather than happiness The notion of self interest is altered if we think that the biggest human motivation is gathering more personal power rather than struggling towards constant repetition of joyful moments. Current popular understanding of self-interest goes hand in

Protectionism is what made every historically major country wealthy and powerful in the last 300 years (including the current free trade pushers like UK and USA). Protectionism should stop being a bad word as Japan and China can testify The title may make the reader shake head immediately because a kind word is not often found with "protectionism" in the same sentence these days.

Brzezinski explores in 1970 how Internet will reshape human psychology/social climate and how United States will decline if it doesn't meaningfully direct technology that it spawned.

United States did not have any serious national introspection when its rival for hegemony collapsed. It thus found itself trapped in a very Soviet ideological bubble and economic difficulty.  When the world's only supposed superpower starts coughing up blood and seems to not even have the political will to provide 1/6th of its citizens with healthcare, it's hard to not compare it to another

Economics takes a wrong investigative direction. It misses the point by measuring results of ever changing policy of world's elites instead of looking at the real problem of dividing power between 6.5 billion individuals Perhaps the most ridiculous and rather insulting concept that has risen in the modern post-religious world is one of "laws of economics".
