1. Charity by way of spending money for others begin with the basic assumption that the person concerned is relatively speaking a 'have'. So, it applies to haves:-) 2. In South Korea, as a professor friend of mine told us a few days ago, they demolish huge buildings in the short run, say 10 to 15 years, and build new ones. In US, the capital cost being high, they do not do it so early. In the educational campuses, heritage buildings bring fund from 'have' alumnies. So, JM Keyenes is relatively less relevant in US than in South Korea:-) What do you say, Umesh?

According to Gerald and Lindsay Zaltman, nearly all research techniques commonly used today probe humans only at their conscious level, though it is the subconscious level that really determines behavior.

HBS professor Michael Toffel and colleague Jodi Short demonstrate some of the benefits and limitations of industry self-policing programs. Many self-regulation programs are operated exclusively by the private sector, often in the hope of garnering goodwill with consumers or staving off more stringent government regulation. Less well known are voluntary self-regulation programs operated by government regulators seeking innovative approaches to further regulatory objectives and to stretch shrinking agency budgets.

While both China and Vietnam have experienced rapid annual growth over the past two decades, income inequality has risen more rapidly in China than in Vietnam during the same period.
