Charlie, USA, Daesh : les 7 médiamensonges. What gives a dollar bill its value? - Doug Levinson. The great conspiracy against Julius Caesar - Kathryn Tempest. Non-textual sources can also help us understand Marcus Brutus better.
Coins in particular enable us to see how Brutus presented his political agenda at the time. You can look at some of Brutus’ coins here. What lasting messages did these coins leave with the imagery inscribed upon them? What the Piketty-Financial Times Affair says about journalism and academia. Thomas Piketty has issued a response to the FT’s criticism claiming that bad computations and flawed estimates undermined the overall thesis of his book, namely that wealth concentration had increased.
I have read the 10-page letter by Piketty and found it extremely convincing. Basically, he doesn’t give an inch, explaining each and every point that the FT raised with references either to the very dataset that the FT used, or to research papers he had published and uploaded. He concedes that a few minor points could have been more transparent in the dataset, but if anything, his response points more to the FT’s sloppiness than his own, as does another piece in the Guardian by Howard Reed. When you write a 600-page book drawing on a humongous mass of disparate data, you are bound to make thousands of judgement calls and adjustments.

They're Generation Z, born from 1995 onwards, the latest generation made up of today's babies and children. This year sees two important milestones for the Zs because the oldest of the generation are becoming teenagers and this year's prep students will be the graduating class of 2020, the year now the focus of the Rudd Government's summit. But, even though some Gen Z children have not been born yet, experts can predict their key traits by understanding their childhood and the challenges they face.
