One Economic Theory to Explain Everything

One theory to rule them all, encompassing the vast sweep of history beneath its mighty wings? Well, maybe there is. And maybe the author of it is none other than your friendly neighborhood economics columnist, Paul Krugman. In a recent post, Krugman showed a graph (originally from economist Branko Milanovic) that he calls “recent history in one chart.” ¿Cómo la sangrienta historia de España dio lugar a la mayor concentración de ascensores del mundo? Cuando uno piensa en España lo que primero se le viene a la cabeza es la palabra ascensor, ¿o puede que no?.

¿Cómo la sangrienta historia de España dio lugar a la mayor concentración de ascensores del mundo?

Pues bien, lo cierto es que razones no faltan. Como se puede observar en el siguiente gráfico, el número de ascensores por cada mil habitantes es clara y comparativamente más alto en España que en el resto de países estudiados.

The age of loneliness is killing us

It’s not the information age: the collapse of popular education movements left a void filled by marketing and conspiracy theories. Like the stone age, iron age and space age, the digital age says plenty about our artefacts but little about society. The anthropocene, in which humans exert a major impact on the biosphere, fails to distinguish this century from the previous 20. What clear social change marks out our time from those that precede it? 5 Misteriosos artefactos antiguos -Muy Interesante México.

German philosopher Bettina Stangneth reexamines the Nazi commander—and the true nature of evil. A sketch of Adolf Eichmann, superimposed on a map of Argentina (The Huntington/Flickr) As head of the Jewish Department within the Nazi SS, Adolf Eichmann held operational responsibility for the extermination of European Jewry through crucial years of World War II.

To his chosen work of murder, Eichmann brought a zeal and commitment that he sustained even through 15 years of exile after the war. Growth and Inequality in the U.S.: when “shared prosperity” means shared by the very few - New Economic Perspectives. (A response to Forbes’ Scott Winship) By Pavlina Tcherneva For the last few years, I’ve been studying the recovery and the kind of monetary and fiscal policies that are conventionally used to deal with recessions. One of the questions I considered was not just how we grow, but who benefits.

The answer to the first question, I argue, provides insights into the second. Examining the widely-used Piketty-Saez data, I found that the way we grow in the U.S. brings inequality. After the chart went viral online and was featured in the New York Times, Slate, Vox, NPR, CNN, and multiple other outlets, Forbes’s Scott Winship posted, as far as I can tell, the only challenge to the graph. Why Exactly Does The Government Suck So Badly At Software? Earlier this month the Senate Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government held a hearing in which they called on Steven VanRoekel, the nation’s top chief information officer, to explain why the federal government is so bad at developing and managing IT projects. This wasn't just about the rollout of Healthcare.gov last year, but also the other 200 major government IT programs that are delayed, over budget, or at risk of catastrophic failures. 1Reaction These 200 programs currently have a whopping $12 billion total budget that most startups--even established companies--would kill for.

4 Myths About Apple Design, From An Ex-Apple Designer. Apple is synonymous with upper echelon design, but very little is known about the company's design process. Most of Apple's own employees aren't allowed inside Apple's fabled design studios. So we're left piecing together interviews, or outright speculating about how Apple does it and what it's really like to be a designer at the company. Enter Mark Kawano. Before founding Storehouse, Kawano was a senior designer at Apple for seven years, where he worked on Aperture and iPhoto. Later, Kawano became Apple's User Experience Evangelist, guiding third-party app iOS developers to create software that felt right on Apple's platforms.

Countries that excel at problem-solving encourage critical thinking. ©Getty OK computer: a unique table method helped pupils learn maths in the UK in 1960 Maths lessons have changed since Tom Ding was at school. Recalling his favourite subject, Ding remembers: “A big pile of textbooks, the teacher taking you through an example, giving you a bit of context and then telling you what page to open the book at.”

So he was surprised to enter a classroom as a trainee maths teacher to find the textbooks on a shelf while pupils grappled with questions such as: “Does speaking a different language mean you count differently?” In another lesson, students debated the best way to represent a number – was it as a fraction, a decimal or a percentage?

A finales de enero pasado, en medio de uno de esos calores que matan pájaros en pleno vuelo, llegué por primera vez a Aracataca. El pueblo donde nació Gabriel García Márquez tiene una casa museo Gabriel García Márquez, un recorrido sobre Gabriel García Márquez, un restaurante Gabo (en la calle de los Turcos, que conocen bien los lectores de Cien años de soledad), una emisora llamada Macondo Estéreo y hasta un holandés errante que abrió un hotel, la Residencia Gitana, y se cambió el apellido de su familia por uno que les resultara un poco más familiar a los locales: Buendía.

Fue él, Tim Buendía, quien me preguntó a la hora del almuerzo si yo creía que lo de los libros podía arreglarse. Le dije la verdad: que no lo sabía, pero que semejante situación no podía durar mucho; porque a mí también me gustaría, como a tantos lectores de Gabriel García Márquez, poder comprar sus libros en las librerías colombianas.

Viendo lo que está sucediendo en las calles de São Paulo en donde se ha gestado un movimiento de indignados a partir de una chispa que prendió un descontento que los políticos no detectaron, me pregunto, a cuánto estaremos nosotros de que se prenda la nuestra. Si nos atenemos a la tranquilidad con que la gran mayoría de los políticos colombianos abusa de su poder, la posibilidad de que una primavera colombiana los defenestre se ve muy remota.
