- Has Africa always been the world’s poorest continent?
- "There were at least two distinct economies in British colonial Africa, a comparatively high-wage, labor scarce, economy in West Africa, and a low-wage economy in East Africa. Real wages in many West African cities grew more or less continuously, from the 1880s until the 1930s ... It was the crisis of the 1970s that created the current view we have of all of sub-Saharan Africa as sharing a common set of problems."
- Why the gender 'entrepreneurship gap' in Canada continues to grow
- The information in this article really seems to support the idea that there are different styles of business ownership and types of motivation for men vs. women rather than discrimination. One interesting thing: "1-in-3 self-employed women returned to work within two months of having a child, compared to 5% of paid workers". To some extent that might be due to self-employed women being relatively likely to work out of their homes, and thereby make it easier to get back to work.
- Australian judge writes unusual letter to two children involved in custody battle
- So the judge boots out the father from his children's lives after their mother filed an abuse complaint that the judge himself ruled false. (Her "evidence": her "own mother had seen a clairvoyant who had predicted the abuse."). Said judge then writes a letter to the kids to be handed each as they turn 14, urging them to reestablish conflict with their father. Another sane family court decision.
