Eloquently put and very true. Agree on the point about India. Similar thing has recently happened in Australia where Abbott seems to be a stooge of Rupert Murdoch and few other big corporations - and his position as PM seems to be purely ce

Great comment. Also, those of us who fight against inequality are not fighting for equality at all. What we say is simple - if you have a million dollars and 100 people to share it - rather than 1 person have 990,000 and the remaining 10,00

Code is a brilliant book, but I am not sure if the "non-technical" people will enjoy it beyond a point. The part where starts talking about flip-flops can be pretty complicated for someone who is not too interested in technology.

I am doubtful whether the free market exists anywhere in the world (please correct me if I am wrong). My theory is that whenever it tends to exist, a few corrupt players (government or private) will tend to game the system and take all the

Yes. But typically banks can leverage - for example, the bank which employs me typically lends out around $125-$135 for every $100 dollars in deposits. I guess the OP was trying to explain the money multiplier but got the example wrong. (Mo
