This is a symptom of something. While it is not easy to identify a specific underlying cause, I think if you’re not socialized at a young age in how to make friends or you don’t come from a large, extended family, it is nearly impossible to

I am far from an expert on Colombia but there are many reasons to be skeptical of this peace deal, and the failure of the yes vote is a sign that many people did not support it for reasons related to immunity deals for guerrillas and politi

It's interesting that you say America has done a good job of assimilating immigrants in light of the popularity of Trump. It seems to me the opposite is true. To me, America is a collection of states that is fairly cohesive, but is qui

Trust is something that I think is often taken for granted as something that is naturally occurring, but as you say it is based on shared culturual/religious background. The un-pc question, the uncomfortable question, is whether divers

This is like the economic twlight zone, when you see one overvalued company trying to rationalize the value of another. Why not pay 4 billion or 5 billion when you are playing with monopoly money?

I would argue that the repeal of Glass-Steagall in itself was a government intervention, because it happened after Citi merged with Travellers, and it was based on lobbying from Citi. But there were other pieces of legislation, namely the C

The article is arguing for more government intervention in the economy which I would argue is exactly what has led to this form of crony capitalism. What is the answer to 'to big to fail'? Failure. But the problem is that the gove

I never liked the word corruption because it lends itself to too many interpretations. I see the problem as tribalism. In most third world coutries, the poitical set up is a couple tribes that share power, control industry, and insulate the

I don't understand one thing. All the articles I read about Valeant and Phildor say that Phildor only represents 6% or revenue. Does that mean the other 94% is legitimate and comes from pharmacies where Valeant does not have an option

I have travelled throughout Africa and looked at malaria activities and based on my experience using malaria nets for fishing is purely anecdotal. It is obviously not a good thing, but it is not a pervasive thing. Of interest, people also u

This is a bit harsh. Jordan is the ultimate competitor and he represents excellence and professionalism. He has single handedly revolutionized professional sports and marketing and every kid growing up in the 90s wanted to be him. He has no

The political system and Senate reflect the division in the country. There is no easy fix. The problem is people do not trust their government, which is reflective of the current political environment and is the primary reason these problem

These types of comments point to the problem which is a fundamental lack of trust between government and its citizens. Democracy, or any other type of government, cannot function if people do not have a basic trust in public institutions. O

This is a commendable goal, but I feel like it is all too tempting to focus narrowly on one disease and ignore a more holistic approach towards addressing the underlying problems. I have travelled to many countries in Africa and the big dif
