Despite the beverage being almost as half as old as the country it originated from, America, Coca-cola has a much more tumultuous history in it’s front Atlantic neighbour, Portugal. A symbol of American market capitalism, Coca-cola was created in the late 19th century, actually as a medicinal drink, from coca leaves and kola nuts (a source of caffeine). As usual, everything that is born in America... 

In a shocking shift of new developments, it appears that the vast majority of Americans no longer support democracy and would prefer another form of government instead.

For many years, Chile was the exception in Latin America, with an unprecedented model of sustained economic development. Contrary to populism and demagoguery, the Chilean recipe for the last forty-five years was respect for private property and entrepreneurial freedom. Indeed, the phrase “Chilean miracle” was even used by economist Milton Friedman to describe the Chilean economy’s reorientation... 

American greed in the age of Godless capitalism knows no bounds. There’s almost nothing too sinister or evil that today’s Americans won’t do for a buck, including manufacturing the cheapest and most overpriced products with built-in obsolescence that they can get away with, which is exactly what John Deere is doing with its newest lines of farming tractors. To be fair, part of the problem is... 

Billionaires are scrambling to ward off the specter of populist anger – from wealth taxes to increased regulation – looming over an age of unprecedented inequality. Perhaps they should have thought of this outcome 40 years ago. The 2020 election may trigger a “war on Wall Street and wealth,” too-big-to-fail bank Citi has warned its clients in a letter quoted by Bloomberg this week. The bank... 

While mistakes of the Soviet Union put it in the museum, China’s capacity to adapt and reinvent itself could soon make it the most important country in the world. Last weekend, I addressed a 70th anniversary commemoration of the victory of the Chinese revolution.

The gap between the super-rich and the poor has significantly grown since the global crisis. The wealthiest one percent owned 42.5 percent of global wealth in 2008, the bank reports. “The downward trend reversed after 2008 and the share of the top one percent has been... 

A recent YouGov poll revealed that a growing number of American millennials prefer socialism to capitalism, apparently favoring the very ideology that has long been considered one of the greatest threats to the United States. According to an opinion poll conducted by YouGov at the behest of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, nearly half of the millennials in the United States favored socialism... 

Everything about France’s new president Emmanuel Macron suggests a theatrical production of hype and illusion. He is being “sold” to the masses as an “outsider” and “centrist”, a benign liberal. In reality, enter the economic hitman who will blow French society apart in the service of the oligarchy. At age 39, Macron has been described as a “political wonderboy” and France’s “youngest... 

Since 2013 Hillary’s grand total is slightly less: $21.7 million for 92 private appearances. And so, just like that, with a sweeping victory in South Carolina, Sanders’ Socialism crawls back into its cage and crony capitalism is alive and well. As Edward Snowden so perfectly sums up… Edward Snowden tweeted yesterday “2016: a choice between Donald Trump and Goldman Sachs.” With... 

Pope Francis has urged the people of Latin America to stand up to the world’s capitalist system and change the world economic order by creating a “truly communitarian economy” based on distribution of goods among all (communism).

Artificial intelligence (AI) needs to develop human emotion if humanity is to avoid the potential existential threat posed by machines capable of consciousness, a leading scientist has warned.

Murray Shanahan, professor of cognitive robotics at Imperial...
