The economic Potential of a nation can only be realized once its #microenterprise and its management make the right decisions, take the right actions based on the right sets of information derived from observations.
This Planning mindset cripples the market's ability to tweak
Some countries still have Planning Commissions, Boards, and whatnot!
Fancy Soviet-style Archetypical Nomenclatures and institutions won't help in the digital age!
Macro-Resource Allocation should not be planned at all.
Price signals should direct the economic dialectic.
Hayek's criticism of economic planning still holds argumentative weight and political value
Thomas Sowell was right when he derided the role of bureaucracy in drafting policies on behalf of people, whose welfare does not affect the decision-makers themselves
State interference NO
Hong Kong was Milton Friedman's role model of economic development and capitalist style of growth during the 1980s.
No doubt it is SE-Asia that changed perceptions about capitalism and emancipation going hand in hand.
The trickle-down effect did work across Asian Tiger Economies
Kuznets's inverted U-Hypothesis was based on empirical research informed by econometric data sample observations and feedback loops drawn from the SE-Asian Economic Networks.
Social Scientists and Economic Philosophers with intellectual backgrounds blended in macroeconomic development history and growth modelling interfaces should drop this gunpoint diktat that unless wealth is not heavily redistributed by the rich, they risk inviting a revolution!
We have seen counter-revolutions stretching from Latin America, to the Caribbean Basin Nations to Former French Indo-China to where PRC stands today!
All have realized the fallacy of planning.
Glorifying incompetence, poverty, and fatalism are negative fallout of #Romanticism
Sociologists focus a lot on how the Ghost of Marxism had swept across the European Continent and beyond into Romanov Russia, etc
Very few contemplate how Romanticism affected Western Intellectual Traditions and Thought Processes, except for Isaiah Berlin.
Mobilized Unruly and Anarchistic Mobs with vested political interests and inward-looking theories based on narrow definitions of determinism and nationalism can never bring economic relief to either the Middle or Lower Income Strata anywhere.
The rich might have used capitalism to exploit the poor, but, the latter have used socialism and other forms of collectivism to harass the rich.
Give it or we shall take it away!
Nobody presents this side of history.
Highly unfair lopsided analysis.
Robs Pierre, replaced by LULA
Don't describe them as Socialist.
They are actually bandits dressed as intellectuals, scholars, progressives, revolutionaries, workers, unions, proletarian movements, and whatnot!
Mobs.
The irony of all this debate is that now they are trying to use free market economics expressions such as #MMT Modern Monetary Theory and other QE to foster collectivism.
Magic Money Tree has replaced Marxist Utopia.
Money for all as govts won't default on deficits!!
Cloud Cuckoo
Western Governments and other advanced capitalist economies such as Japan have adhered to Quantitative Easing Principles.
This has masked the real face of collectivism.
It has made the government more entrenched in the economy than never before.
Central banks taking hits on B/S
Once Governments begin to share risk with private enterprises and households, it likes giving freebies which add to addiction.
Remember, addiction is the disease of desire!
The more you get and give, the higher the required dose next time.

The identity crisis in the USA has grown.
What is American?
An Immigrant Society?
The definition is now regarded as inundated.
It's predicted that people of colour, blacks, and Hispanics will overtake the White skin English Speaking People in the next 50 years or so.
This has given rise to white supremacists, evangelical extremism in the bible belts, and narrow nationalism which is now come to be known as Populism;
and the combination of all these packs a punch together as Social Darwinism and Naked Competition, in the form of Open Market Capitalism, and Neoliberal Political Economic Order.

What maths does finance and risk management require?
Mathematics is the Queen of all Natural Sciences.
However, its applications in Social Sciences and its sub-fields such as Economics and Business Studies are growing all the time.
Finance and Risk operating in conjunction are broadly categorized as subfields of Actuarial Sciences and Microeconomics.
That's my opinion.
I mean no offence to Accountants ;)
The two subjects (Risk and Finance, which I would like to jointly refer to as Risk Finance) share a lot in common with the Pricing Theory, Utility Theory, Portfolio Theory,

The economic growth of the Blair-Brown duo years preceded the trend rate of the past.
The UK economy was largely in equilibrium, the Pound was stable and markets stabilized, avoided the trappings of boom-bust cycles, and the minimum wage helped reduce income inequality a little.
The problem which economists at that time overlooked was that #Brown, who was the architect of the #UK's economic mirage, was based on the "soft touch" approach to financial risk regulation and supervision.
That backfired!!
GFC typified how wrong growth models hurt.
Putting people on state benefits, increasing the cost of hiring, and using bespoke welfare systems to discourage risk-taking and entrepreneurship drives only masked the epistemic issues the British People were silently gesticulating about between 1997-2003.
Brexit ventilated.

Ever heard the old adage? Money goes where it grows.
That is why global capital flows to China and SE+NE Asia have become gargantuan over the last 70 years or so, especially after Deng introduced the Open policy in China in 1979.
It worked for them for multiple reasons, but, the thing which differentiated the Asians from the Europeans was the progressive work ethic that promoted both smart and hard work together.
Smart work will give you more productivity but at the expense of higher wages, whereas, hard work will give you more output per head but at affordable rates.
All SE-Asian and even the Chinese Megalodon Economies have adopted the latter strategy to date.

As a manager, you have to make a choice.
Whether to transfer skills to someone who is not a loyal co-worker, or to adopt avoidant behaviour and let things come to pass.
This is both morally and managerially the most difficult trade-off one makes in a position of responsibility.
Most of the time, we regret training subordinates who are disloyal and backbiters.
I have trained many people in my life who gave negative feedback to HR.
Dealing with such rogue elements in a firm tests the type of leadership and decision-making model employed.
So, the company needs to differentiate between coaching and training programs designed for employees & the management.
Training should be a general event in the HR to-do calendar whereas, coaching should be reserved for those who are selected by the manager to join his team

You know that an academic institution is in financial trouble when it goes overboard in selling/ marketing some or all of its pedantic programmes.
Some of the best universities in the world now send two to three emails a day to attract potential students.
#Covid has consequences
If you have to make a choice between a lowly ranked UK university and its EU Counterpart, I would prefer the latter against the former!
The standard of education in Continental Europe is superb, and academic institutions have a reservoir of PhDs who are willing to supervise.
Most international students ignore Aussie and Kiwi Unis.
Some of them are superb, especially the Australian institutions, which are akin to their American counterparts.
What great campuses, residence halls, libraries, labs and other supporting infrastructure, etc.
