- "Comrade Djugashvili said the following: “I do happen to agree with comrade Bronshtein in this particular case although our agreement is phenomenological in the sense that we simply agree superficially even if the reasons for the agreement are entirely different."

- I suppose that's the propaganda approach that the British use has been honed for at least two to three centuries and it probably works well. It is more sophisticated than inventing battles that never happened. It is of course mendacious,
- Reading unwillingly MSNBC (because I get it when I open the Windows) made me see clearly how British (not American because most of pieces are British) propaganda works during the war. It has a simple approach. You support A not B.
- Do we teach something only when the demand for it is already there, or do we teach even things for which interest is not there to start with but that we believe could be useful in ways that an ordinary student cannot fully grasp before taking the class?

- Not much of a difference in the pattern of relative decline,
- Finally, am American president does not sugarcoat the truth about Western Europe's "resistance" during the WW2. "Copenhagen fell to Germany "after just six hours of fighting".

- Global inequality, three concepts
- Is it consistent to break the international law when convenient (or rather when you want to please the hegemonic power) and then to call upon the international law when you need protection from that very same hegemonic power?
- Did Denmark break the international law by participating in the non-UN approved attack on Iraq?
- It is Weekend No. 7 and (as I have been doing for the past six weeks), I will now review Chapter 7 of "Visions of Inequality". It has become the most controversial part of the book b/c of its strong critique of lack of concern of neoclassical economics with income distribution.
- The end of a long period of decreasing global inequality? Concept 3 is Gini between world citizens calculated from some 110+ representative national household surveys with incomes of individuals expressed in PPP dollars.
