It's the wrong angle. One should not look at corporations as the moral saviours. As Supreme Court Judge Learned Hand once said: "Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing 851*851 sinister in so arranging one'

I recently stumbled upon a "project" called Own Austria, which promises you to own a part of Austria's products. Essentially you buy partial ownership of a fund that only invests in Austrian companies. The selection criteria?

Imagine being constantly reduced to your body. No matter what you do. That hurts. It simply does. It takes away everything you are responsible for, your intelligence, your success, your ideas. You are nothing more than an object for the opp

I'm currently doing an internship at a law office (in Liechtenstein) and the one thing management is doing right is treating employees and partners like humans, not capital. Everybody is treated with respect and not looked down upon, n

Capitalism works because there is an elected authority, the U.S. Governement, that guarantees its citizens their right to own property. Property is one of the fundamental pillars of Western society. Under certain formal processes, property

Exactly. The part where the owner raises the rent and eats the profit is a horrible thought. But it made me think. Take a look at the World's 50 Best Restaurant list Top 10 [0]. 4 out of the Top 10 are located in cities that I expect t

This is really a curious instance. Those people whose savings have been wiped out have been hit so hard because they had stop orders, not limit orders. The main difference is that once the stop point has been reached, a stop order becomes a
