Sometimes a single unlikely idea can have massive impact across the world. Sir Harold Evans, the author of They Made America, describes how frustration drove Malcom McLean, a small-town truck driver, to invent the shipping container.

"French economist Thomas Piketty and his book Capital in the Twenty-First Century are a global publishing phenomenon.

This is a sad example of the type of professional economist debates that have given economics such a poor reputation. The debate here is not about the immediate emergency need to stop the irreversible extinction of Earth's species; it is about when the monetary costs of climate change will be paid. |

We have more displaced people today than we did after World War II (well, we do have about twice as many people on earth). This is huge news, and there seems to be no real end to the problem, only the looming uncertainty as to how the world will handle and respond to the growing numbers of those without homes. Out of every 113 people on earth, one of them is a refugee. The issue of how to handle migration issues today is the very heart of the difference between how liberals and conservatives feel is the best way to make the world a better place.

This is an interesting collection that touches on a lot of relevant themes. It should raise a lot of questions for you. The most important thing to keep in mind is what's the state of the world according to these images, and how do the people and places represented compare and contrast?

What do people think of this? Good news or no? Is it viable in an economic sense? Does economics really count when people are doing something for the greater good? Will this decision prove to be a good one in 20 years? 50years? 100 years? |
