shared by Amanda Anna G on 01 Dec 13 - No Cached
  • The aftereffects of the ATM incident show that we are still ambivalent about it. Our idea of a public good is centuries old.
  • What everyone conveniently forgets is that an ATM is not tied to the mother bank—the free usage of another bank’s ATM (up to a fairly liberal limit) has made the ATM a near-public place.

    This article asks the question is the ATM a public good. Inside we will find the article making statements to why it is in fact a public good and why it should be considered as one

  • BEIJING: China is set to test using loans and subsidies to support farmers from next year

  • But in driving up domestic prices, the policy has fuelled a surge in cheaper imports, benefiting overseas suppliers rather than the local market.
