The End of Royal Dutch Shell?
Today I read of the demise of Royal Dutch Shell – that huge unconscious behemoth employing 104,000 people around the world with 22B profits and revenues greater than USD300B per year.

The surge of US troops in Afghanistan is fundamentally flawed
Why? Because the strategy is short term focused, and forgets about what is really going on: a nation of disgruntled people with not much else to do, except wait for an exceptionally bleak future to roll over them.

Learning to Fail – What It Is All About
So, where are we at? Socialism came in with a bang in Russia in 1917, and went out bust in 1991. China’s dictatorial social experiement morphed into a quasi controlled market economy that allows a form of social freedom.
