Sunday cartoons

Sometimes a cartoon can get to the bottom of an issue much more effectively than any piece of analysis can. The best single commentary I have seen on the WTO is a cartoon that depicts an about-to-start meeting of that august body. There is a whole row of translators' cubicles pictured by the back, with the cubicles labeled as "English-to-French," "French-to-English," "Engilsh-to-Arabic," and so on. They are all manned, except for the last one, identified as "Rhetoric-to-Action," which is empty. One of the WTO officials on the sidelines says to another: "we are all set to go; we'll start as soon as the last translator shows up."   

Well, my brother Izel Rozental is a cartoonist-businessman in Istanbul, and I thought I would share one of his recent cartoons today. It shows pretty accurately where Turkey stands with respect to EU membership.

Dani, your comment about the WTO is cheap, snide and clueless. The WTO has no Arabic translators because the working languages of the WTO are only French, Spanish and English. Arabic IS a working language in UNCTAD-- - which is clearly where the anecdote underlying the cartoon came from. UNCTAD meetings can and do grind to a halt because the Arabic and Chinese translations of the documents aren't available yet.

The WTO is a well-functioning organization when it is working on its core agenda. UNCTAD isn't, except for a few corners that have generated useful analysis (but no action).

Why is everyone just montblanc watches willing to accept power cuts? Don't you think that patek philippe watches having continious power is your right? If people aren't going to demand rado watches 24X7 power, don't expect anything zenith watches to change. The government needs to look at other sources parmigiani watches of power generation. The only solution is more power panerai watches production. Nothing less.

In general the developed states want natural resources from the less developed states at favorable prices. The developing states want trade policies that encourage local business and nobody cares what the undeveloped states want since they have no clout.

I think this is a great post. One thing that I find the most helpful is number five. Sometimes when I write, I just let the flow of the words and information come out so much that I loose the purpose. It’s only after editing when I realize what I’ve done. There’s defiantly a lot of great tips here I’m going to try to be more aware of.

Many places and centers offer business and trade promotions to both buyers and supplier.What about the differences in skill intensities across industries? The job losses in the relatively unskilled-labor intensive battery industry should have little effect on the relatively skilled-labor intensive machinery
