Nuggets from the Pew survey

The new Pew survey of global attitudes is full of interesting findings. Here is one that I think might be surprising. Respondents thought that the influence of China on their country is more positive than that of the United States in virtually all countries surveyed (South Africa and Mexico being the only exceptions). 

 

And note what has happened to opinions about the EU in Turkey:

which is not unrelated to the cartoon here.

Well, in some ways, perhaps Turkey is better off not being part of the EU. When I see the demands and restrictions the EU has put on the latest two entrants - Romania and Bulgaria - I realize how out of touch EU policy makers are with reality.

Outside of some cash infusions (most of which go into the pockets of well-connected businesses and officials, according to my "sources") Bulgaria hasn't gained much except huge, new recycle bins on the streets of Sofia and the inability to "do away" with stray dogs that roam in packs on the streets and occasionally attack people.

Perhaps I'm just cynical...

So long as our merry little ally keeps swiping land and invading whomever it chooses, we shall desperately need whatever culturally moslem friends we can get. Having Turkey in the EU would help--if it ever happens.

Yet no US candidate can say this. for two reasons:

1) the Israeli Lobby would bury the speaker.
2) Thanks to Bush, any US advocacy would doom the enterprise in the EU.

I've been using recycle bottles to refill drinking water. I've read somewhere that you cannot use the bottle after many times or recycling because of the chemicals in the bottle. So how many times exactly can i recycle it?

There is perhaps an immediate and overt welfare loss to you if you pay a few pennies for your Shanghai booties vs. Burlington , NC-print booties. But to what extent does that come back to YOU, as the fiber-suppliers, and their shippers, the textile machinery mfgs, their agents, and the textile machinery mechanics, and their machinery company's subcontractors, the dyer-seller, and their supply-chain web,the NC factory employees, the NC mfgrs insurance co. and their bank, and the local catering businesses, co, as well as that of all the employees, and all the consumables used by everyone in the web, and at the end of it, yes maybe its just a pair of socks, but might the resultant economic cascade that is captured locally, regionally, nationally, feedback virtuously to oil THIS geographically local web, rather than "outsourcing it" abroad, and donating the entire web to China?

[pandora beads]

The non-economists, since time immemoriam have said, "well, that may be true in theory, but in the real world . . ." and, frankly, they are right to do so. "In the real world" people are concerned about the effect of "free trade" on economic rents, on the accumulation of capital, on incentives to technological innovation with increasing returns and external economies, imperfect competition etc.

What a pity I miss seeing all those gorgeous knits! Thanks for sharing the photos.

[who called me]

Perhaps the problem is with the misnomer "developing country". Countries that don't have the basics of "peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice" may well indeed be caught in a Malthusian trap where greater national income gets translated into high population but not per capita GDP.

[Acronym List]

I haven't really noticed much of this new intellectual climate here amongst development practitioners in Africa. But perhaps that is because there aren't many intellectuals here.

[timberland kids waterproof boots]

One Sunday womens timberland boots morning, I was told that someone was waiting for me in timberland 6 boots office. The young person who answered the rectory timberland boots door said that it was "the woman who said she left all the notes." When I saw her mens timberland boots I was shocked, since I immediately recognized her from church but had no timberland boots outlet idea that it was she who wrote the notes. She was sitting in a chair in timberland roll top boots office with her hands folded in her lap. Her head was bowed and when she raised white timberland boots it to look at me, she could barely smile without pain. Her face was disfigured, and timberland classic boat skin so tight from surgical procedures that smiling or laughing was very difficult for her timberland kids waterproof boots . She had suffered terribly from treatment to remove the growths timberland shoes that had so marred her face. We chatted for a while that Sunday morning and agreed to meet for timberland womens premium boots lunch later that week. As it turned out we went to lunch several timberland boots women times, and she always wore a hat during the meal.

I have thought about her timberland mens custom often over the years and how she struggled in a society that places an incredible premium on looks, class, wealth and all the other fineries of life. She suffered from a disfigurement that cannot be made to look attractive. I know that her condition black timberland boots hurt her deeply. http://www.timberland6inch.com/
