The fighting in Iraq isn't over, but the defense stock boom is.
Three major Wall Street firms downgraded the industry, or at least most of
it, last week, adding to the selling pressure tha
I am getting confused here. In this scenario, since marginal costs are
next to nothing, poor country fellas are doing fine. Now, Summers and

Privatization? Since virtually everything there is already the property
of the Saudi family, new foreign investment could scarcely
increase the degree of privatization. Besides, if the
investment is in new projects it would no more represent
"privatization" than did Lenin's policy of "concession
S&D are saying charge marginal cost (in effect, virtually
nothing) to poor countries. I didn't see that part in the
FDA statement. If the EU and Japan paid more for drugs so
that developing countries could pay much less, where's the bad?

How on earth can this be reconciled with free trade? What of the regulatory
costs of trying to prevent trading from low cost to high cost countries. Or
perhaps De Long et al would say that this should be allowed since it would
increase the utility of poorer countries! After all if the justification

Thanks. I will try to work on the problem. Between you and me, I had the
misfortune of working with a pack of idiots inadvertently, although I also
connected with some of the best. But anyway, the idiocy set me back a decade

it's a nasty neo-con social policy think tank.
vouchers, anti-anti-racism, pro-Giuliani, welfare deform,
