economics | by Edward Hugh | 29 Jan, 2004 at 12:39 PM | comments (1) | trackback (0)

As per my last post, things are changing and fast. I would say we may possibly soon be able to talk of golbalisation phase one and globalisation phase two, speaking only of the post 1990 version of course. In the first phase there was plenty of room for argument about...

Trading Architecture Post Cancun

economics | by Edward Hugh | 29 Jan, 2004 at 12:27 PM | comments (0) | trackback (0)

The artificial Venezuelan economy: Inflation and price controls

venezuela | by Miguel Octavio | 04 Jan, 2004 at 05:40 PM | comments (0) | trackback (0)
