   Indians in Uganda controlled something like a quarter of the economy while being only 1% of the population. That was one of the main reasons they were expelled from Uganda. I find the Philippines number pretty remarkable not so much for the

   Greek civil servants are 3.3% of the population, less than that of Germany. What about the rest of 96.7% of population who are getting crushed. How does punishing the 96.7% fix the problem of crony corruption.

    If you succeed in estimating something, it is not a risk anymore. The whole notion of risk (as he defines) is uncertainty about the future (something that you don't know and can't know). Is the universe of things that are unknown

    Sure, I’m not suggesting that getting Google/Amazon investment by itself is a bad thing. The problem is if the bulk of your investment thesis revolves around filling in niches in the Google/Apple ecosystem. The linked article talk

    Nice attempt by Dixon to pattern match, but I think he is substantially wrong on his diagnosis (of some peaceful build out). My recollection of the dot-com bubble is that desktop Internet B2B in the developed world drove the vast majority o

    General Motors makes 58% of its entire profit in the Chinese Car market. Ford makes 18% of its profit from China. So clearly, US gains by trade in cars. This is clearly one example. The broader point is that a whole lot of US companies make

    I understand people running long distances. Not sure why you would run hundreds of miles to inform people about a battle. It would be too slow to be effective, plus the reverse run seems odd again. Consider that Paul Revere took a horse to

    Sorry but this is so odd to hear, but why was this guy running to new orleans. Didn't he have a horse. Also, why did he run back again once he knew the war was over. He could have waited perhaps?
