Steve Keen, a professor of economics in Australia, argues that we live in a credit money system as opposed to a fiat money system. Keen also takes shots at neoclassical economic theory.

Kaletsky calls for a revolution in economic thought.

Anatole Kaletsky of the London Times attacks academic orthodoxy and a close-mindedness in the field of economics as a contributory cause of the current economic crisis.

I dislike this webpage, because it crudely reduces the human cost of this armed conflict to mere numbers of lives lost. What about homelessness? What about starvation? What about refugees?

I also dislike this webpage, because there is, whether inadvertent or intentional, an impression that "proportionality" is determined by contrasting numbers lost on one side with those on the other. This is neither legally correct, nor morally, in my opinion. Innocent civilians deserve to be protected from harm regardless of the actions of their governments.

Kevin Heller highlights a common mistake that many people tend to make regarding the concept of jus in bello proportionality, especially when it comes to Israel and its neighbors.

Great blog !
