I think the Aquino Administration is 100% correct in visiting Japan and discussing the Spratlys after sponsoring the first ever ASEAN Maritime security meet on the West Philippine Sea in Manila. We ought to initiate discussions on ASEAN maritime security with South Korea as well which is in the same boat as Japan as far [...]

Is it possible for one whole nation to engage in social innovation by negotiation among her constituencies and create an economic miracle? Yes. Through programmatic political parties, the postwar Germans did negotiate their social innovation called social market economy that spurred the postwar recovery called the Wirtschaftswunder.

Richard Florida proposes a new take on economic cycles and waves of urbanization as related to technical progress. In his latest book (2010 Harper) at right, he echoes economists like Nouriel Roubini, and Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff in saying that regular crises are the normal and expected bane of capitalism. Unlike Karl Marx who [...]

Craig Ventner, who first mapped the human genome, achieved another first. His research team at the J. Craig Ventner Institute (JCVI) assembled the first self-replicating synthetic bacterial cell. The discovery is path-breaking as it can lead to new products like “advanced biofuels, clean water technology, and new vaccines.” Other than the products, the experimental and [...]
