At the beginning of civilized society? From the government itself. Then it slowly evolves into capital flow to people closely connected to the government (aristocrats, royalty, etc) and then to common people through banks. You seem to imply

You need a healthy mix of workers and owners. Those owners need incentives, and workers need protection. Money is a powerful drug and society needs to tame the habit. Otherwise, you will end up with conditions equal to slavery for the worke

If the government doesn't make laws that define broad principles, capitalism will eat you alive. Employers are greedy and evil. Their focus is profit maximization. Not employee well being. Given the chance, do you really think employer

Of all places, that this is coming from Japan is astounding. The culture of "company man" in Japan is notorious for essentially absorbing and erasing the line between family life and company life for an employee. There are horror

Ok. I got really excited by the title. But the diameter of the planet is about 130 km, so its tiny. Maybe "fat asteroid" is a better term than "dwarf planet" ?

You would panic buy when you expect a need in the immediate future. Such as when you are building a house or want to stock for your store. That is as old as ever. Sure. However, in the past 5 - 6 years, there are a lot more incidents of peo

And those initial buyers need to swallow their pride and losses. Seems everything is a 'hustle' now. Lumber prices are increasing, go to the local hardware store and hoard up. Hold and sell for higher prices. Such a sorry state. I

I see this as a propaganda piece. The unique problem with India is that, a decade ago, it had a small but highly educated, privileged urban population, spread across a handful of cities, who are the most vocal in national media and social m

To think there might be legitimate fear in the Congress, that going too hard on big tech, might lead to losing elections shows how much the locus of power has shifted from elected representatives to corporations.

Incorporation and maintaining related documentation is a tough job. I guess one solution could be to classify various types of corporations and tier them. And then tax rules change accordingly. Similar to how tax breaks are given to startup

Clipboards are perishable, can be lost, tampered with, etc. Don't know what you mean by Siemens, Microsoft & PTC. One alternative is to have QR codes that point to a dataset in a database.
