State Library of Western Australia US economy faces lengthy slowdown with high inflation | The Aust THE US economy was in for a "lasting slowdown" and could face a Japanese-style period of relatively low growth with the added problem of high inflation, billionaire investor George Soros said. Mr Soros told Reuters Financial Television that rescuing US banks could turn them into “zombies” that suck the lifeblood of the economy, prolonging the economic slowdown. “I don’t expect the US economy to recover in the third or fourth quarter so I think we are in for a pretty lasting slowdown,” Mr Soros said, adding that in 2010 there might be “something” in terms of US growth. Most economists expect the US economy to stop contracting in the third quarter and resume growing in the fourth quarter, according to a latest monthly poll of forecasts by Reuters. The recovery would look like “an inverted square root sign”. “You hit bottom and you automatically rebound some, but then you don't come out of it in a V-shape recovery or anything like that.
World's first airport library at Schiphol Amsterdam < News Focus The project is being set-up by the ProBiblio Dutch public library organisation with money from the ministry of education, culture and science. According to project leader Dick van Tol, the collection will be very diverse. “It will be a multimedia venture and will include different aspects of Dutch culture. There won't just be books, but also films and music.” As the airport library is a place where people will pass time and then leave on their flights, visitors will not be allowed to take books, DVDs or other items away. The Airport Library, as it has been dubbed, will be located beyond passport control and only accessible to people with a ticket for a flight. He emphasises that the ash cloud from the volcanic eruption in Iceland - which brought air traffic at Schiphol to a halt twice over past weeks - did not influence the decision to open the library.

Northern Territory Library | Northern Territory Library Crisis was made in China EVERYBODY knows the global financial crisis and recession are the fault of the US and its extreme capitalism, or so Kevin Rudd and a lot of others would like us tothink. Unquestionably, the behaviour of US financial institutions, including banks, investment banks, hedge funds and those who ran them, as well as of ratings agencies, investment advisers and others, makes them entirely legitimate targets of criticism. The Group of 20's focus on reform, more effective regulation and transparency, and dealing with issues such as poor incentive structures and institutions judged too big to fail is an essential response to fatal flaws in deregulated markets. And for now the concentration on fiscal and monetary policy responses aimed at restoring financial stability and restarting economic growth is the right one. But viewing the crisis as largely a phenomenon made in America is wrong and dangerous. In the mid-1990s most developing countries were still large net importers of capital.
