В России теперь полноценная военная хунта с полицейским войском в 400 тыс человек. Опыт Латинской Америки показывает, что со смертью или уходом главы хунты, к власти чаще всего приходит гражданское правительство. В России это, наверное, будет поколение детей путинских клептократов - что-то вроде Кирилла Шамалова.

А пока вата неиллюзорно дрочит на усиление российского гестапо.

The number of older people in the developed world keeps growing. Traditionally, older people are conservative spenders and investors. As a result, we see deflationary trends both in the US and Europe. So far, attempts by central banks to force spending by lowering interest rates run into a wall of uncertainty because the old people are still reluctant to spend and the young people don't have the money to spend - a generational stalemate.

The current developments in life sciences provide a hint of how we might deal with the situation. The solution seems to be to enable inter-generational trade in technology. That is, the young develop new healthcare devices and therapies, while the old pay for them because health is the only thing they have to buy. To make the whole thing work, the government needs to get out of the picture by classifying these new expenditures as wellness-, rather than health-related. Otherwise, instead of economic growth, we'll get catastrophic increases in budget deficits.

По сравнению с Путиным, китайские лидеры - кристально честные люди. Например, все что могли накопать на Ши Жинпинга это две полудохлые компании зарегистрированные "на всякий случай" братом его жены несколько лет до того, как Ши стал председателем.

For example, Mossack Fonseca helped Deng Jiagui, the brother-in-law of Chinese President Xi Jinping, to create three offshore companies located in the British Virgin Islands.

It is unclear what the companies were used for though one had been dissolved and the other two were dormant by the time Mr Deng's powerful relative, Xi Jinping, took the helm of the Communist Party in 2012.

Если панамские документы представляют срез мировых коррупционных потоков, то Россию можно считать безусловным чемпионом мира по воровству. А если еще судить по представлениям граждан о своих руководителях, то российскую пропаганду можно тоже считать чемпионом мира.
