Nope. Human Factor is non fiction. Hillhouse at times seems to strongly suggest she worked for the agency. Same with Berlinsky.

If you can contractually give up your right to a jury trial, or to a trial at all (eg. binding mediation clause), why can't you contractually give up your right to free speech.

Is global trade reverting to the mean? Yes. Does that make it "toast"? No. The media treats every market correction as a crash much to the delight of value investors and bottom feeders. Hysteria is a great time to buy.

Angry about this? Director Panetta tried to throw the book at Ishmael Jones for his 2010 CIA memoir, The Human Factor. Suitable method of protest and entertaining read would be to buy the book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Hu

Over 200%. That number is China's debt relative to its GDP, and its an unsustainably high number. In 10 to 15 years China's debt will be insurmountable unless painful steps are taken now to rebalance the Chinese economy. The po

Love the minimalist approach - but not for business use. I use MixMax ( https://mixmax.com/ ) every day and the additional functionality its provided has been a big deal for me. More is more in a business use-case I think.
