The American Dream is close to being replaced by a living nightmare. Key commodities that are essential to our daily lives and that are widely believed to be abundant are running critically short. Even worse, the Chinese are doing what they can to monopolize the world's dwindling resources. The U.S. is now largely dependent on our greatest economic rival for rare earth elements as well as a host of other minerals - all of which are absolutely essential to the development of alternative energies....

The tilt (tilt): 1. The shift in business and economic power from countries of the north to the fast-developing markets and economies of the south - not only China, India and Brazil, but also the Middle East and parts of Africa. 2. The result of unstoppable forces, including the volatile global financial system, digitization, the rise of state capitalism and a new global middle class that is both youthful and urban- forces by which industries and economies rapidly emerge and change the global playing field.

Ein interessanter Beitrag zur Debatte um wirtschaftspolitische Fragen!Seit einigen Jahren ist erkennbar, dass die deutsche Wirtschaft schwächelt. Und auch die Stimmung im Land ist schlecht, weil die Gesellschaft verängstigt und verzagt ist. Und das alles nur, weil die Deutschen nicht patriotisch genug sind - so jedenfalls lautet Henrik Müllers These. Denn gerade in Zeiten der Globalisierung ist es wichtig, eine funktionierende nationale Identität zu haben. Daher zeigt der Autor in seinem Werk, wie der Patriotismus als Wirtschaftsfaktor wirkt, und wie wir Deutschen ein aufgeklärtes, selbstbewusstes und offenes Zusammengehörigkeitsgefühl unser eigen machen können.

Meet the economic gangster. He's the United Nations diplomat who double-parks his Mercedes on New York City streets at rush hour because the cops can't touch him--he has diplomatic immunity. He's the Chinese smuggler who dodges tariffs by magically transforming frozen chickens into frozen turkeys. The dictator, the warlord, the unscrupulous bureaucrat who bilks the developing world of billions in aid

America is in decline, and the rise of the East suggests a bleak future for the world’s only superpower - so goes the conventional wisdom. But what if the traditional measures of national status are no longer as important as they once were? What if America’s well-being was assessed according to entirely different factors? In The Upside of Down, Charles Kenny argues that America’s so-called decline is only relative to the newfound success of other countries.

How China Loses tells the story of China's struggles to overcome new risks and endure the global backlash against its assertive reach. Combining on-the-ground reportage with incisive analysis, Luke Patey argues that China's predatory economic agenda, headstrong diplomacy, and military expansion undermine its global ambitions to dominate the global economy and world affairs.

When it comes to the afflictions of the global economy, almost everyone - and especially Donald Trump - is quick to point the finger of blame at the state of international trade. But what about unconstrained capital flows? Unfettered capital has resulted in a string of financial and economic crises that have left our political systems strained and dialogue corroded. The once perceived benefits of openness have been cast to the wayside and the cracks in the global order can no longer be ignored.

In light of the intertwining logics of military competition and economic interdependence at play in US-China relations, Trading with the Enemy examines how the United States has balanced its potentially conflicting national security and economic interests in its relationship with the People's Republic of China (PRC). To do so, Hugo Meijer investigates a strategically sensitive yet under-explored facet of US-China relations: the making of American export control policy on military-related technology transfers to China since 1979.

Warum wir über Geld reden müssen. Kaum ein Thema wird hierzulande so emotional diskutiert wie die Frage um Geld und Schulden. Die Deutschen sind Sparweltmeister, viele haben Angst vor Inflation und Verschuldung. In einer fundierten Analyse deckt Marcel Fratzscher auf, warum wir uns oft täuschen, wenn es ums Geld geht. Er räumt auf mit lang tradierten Mythen, die unseren Umgang mit Geld, häufig unbewusst, prägen. Höchste Zeit, denn unser irrationales Verhältnis zum Geld spaltet die Gesellschaft - wirtschaftlich und sozial. Und es führt zu einer rasant wachsenden Ungleichheit. Bessere Vorsorge.

On the same day that reporter Jeffrey Kaye visited the Tondo hospital in northwest Manila, members of an employees association wearing hospital uniforms rallied in the outside courtyard demanding pay raises. The nurses at the hospital took home about $261 a month, while in the United States, nurses earn, on average, more than fifteen times that rate of pay. No wonder so many of them leave the Philippines. Between 2000 and 2007, nearly 78,000 qualified nurses left the Philippines to work abroad, but there's more to it than the pull of better wages....

As Morgan Stanley's chief Asia specialist, getting Asia right is Stephen Roach's personal obsession, and this in-depth compilation represents more than 70 of Roach's key research efforts not just on Asia, but also on how the region fits into the broad context of increasingly globalized financial markets. The book argues that the "Asia factor" is not a static concept, but rather one that is constantly changing and evolving.

The story of stock market is one of booms and busts. There's only one way of making money in the markets: buying low and selling high. The order in which you do them places you firmly in a particular direction and this is where your risk compounds. The best way to manage risk is to simply be neutral in the market or, in other words, not be committed to either direction. How is this possible, you ask? Well, this is where options come in.

In this dazzlingly panoramic book, Patrick French chronicles that epic change, telling human stories to explain a larger national narrative. Melding on-the-ground reports with a deep knowledge of history, French exposes the cultural foundations of India’s political, economic and social complexities.

As a $3-trillion economy, India is on her way to becoming an economic superpower. Between 1991 and 2011, the period of our best growth, there was also a substantial decline in the number of people below the poverty line. Since 2011, however, there has been a marked retreat in the high growth performance of the previous two decades. What happened to the promise? Where have we faltered? How do we change course? As professional economists as well as former civil servants, Vijay Kelkar and Ajay Shah have spent most of their lives thinking about and working on these questions.

Weinig genootschappen spreken zo tot de verbeelding als de vrijmetselarij. Voor sommigen is het een essentieel onderdeel van hun bestaan, voor anderen een achterhaald fenomeen. Vele meningen worden erover verspreid, vanuit de archieven tot op Twitter, maar wat is nu waarheid?

Dr. Jimmy Koppen neemt u mee op een reis door het verleden, heden en toekomst van de Loge.
