*One person I have in mind is Fu Ying. An ethnic Mongolian who served as the Chinese ambassador to the UK until few months ago. And as I understood, currently she's the vice-foreign minister of China. I don't know any other ethnic Mongolian who has held this high position in the world politics in recent years.

Яг 5 жилийн өмнөх энэ орой блог дээрээ хамгийн анх бичлэг хийж байсан юм. Тухайн үед хэдий 8-уулаа 2 өрөө байранд шахцалдан амьдардаг байсан ч гэрийнхэн маань надад зориулаад өрөөний нэг буланд номын шүүгээ, ширээ, компьютэр гурвын зай гаргаж өгсөнийх нь үр дүн энэ блог. Хэнд ч хэрэгтэй, яах ч гэж тэгж суудаг байсан юм бүү мэд. Лав л диал-апаар интэрнэтэд холбогдоод шөнөжин интэрнэт ухаж яваад саваагүйтээд үүнийг нээчихсан юм даг. Юутай ч ширээний маань хажууд газар гудсан дээр унтдаг байсан ээж дүү хоёр маань шөнө толгой дээр нь гэрэл асаалаа гэж нэг ч удаа гомдоллож байгаагүйг бодоход намайг өөртөө хэрэгтэй л зүйл хийдэг гэж итгэдэг байсан байх. Одоо эргээд харахад гэрийхнээсээ уйчлал гуймаар.
Ер нь миний үеийнхэн их өрөвдөлтэй. Гадны суваг үзлээ гээд агуулгыг нь ойлгохгүй, ном уншлаа гээд Хүүхэд Залуучуудын Нэвтэрхий Толь III-аас хэтрэхгүй. Дунд сургуульд зарчмын хувьд ээж аавын үзэж байсантай яг адил хичээл үзнэ. Нийгэм нь урагш цойлоод байдаг, бид нар нэг газраа эргэлдээд байдаг. Тэгэхээр тухайн үед интэрнэт бидэнд ямаршуухан том орон зайг нээж өгсөн нь ойлгомжтой.
Мэдээж хэрэг интэрнэт дээрх мэдээллийг өөр гараг дээрээс уншиж байгаа арван жилийн хүүхэд шууд ойлгоход хэцүү. Хэлний бэрхшээлээс авхуулаад соёлын зөрөө, бүр цаашилбал мэдлэгийн дутуугаас болж эхэндээ бараг өөрийгөө тэнэг мэтээр боддог байв. Гэхдээ үүний сайн тал нь гэвэл шинэ юм бүхэн сонирхолтой санагдана. Платоны Симпозиум дээр философийн хамгийн тулгуур нь мэдэхгүйгээ нөхөх гэсэн эрмэлзэл (eros - тэчьяадал) гэсэн байдаг. Яг үүнтэй адил шинээр мэдэж авсан бүхэн дараа дараагийн мэдлэгийн замыг засч улам ихийг мэдэх хүслийг төрүүлнэ. Гэхдээ үүнийг ганцаараа өөрөө өөртөө хадгалаад байх утгагүй. Сократын харилцан ярианы нэгэн адилаар мэдлэг гэдэг байнга хэлэлцэгдэж, дэнслэгдэж, хурцлагдаж байх учиртай. Энэ блог ч чухам тэрхүү санаан дээр үндэслэгдсэн. Харин тэр үүргээ хэр биелүүлж чадаж байгааг сайн мэдэхгүй юм.
Хэрвээ энэ блогын нэг зорилго нь бусадтай мэдсэнээ хуваалцах бол, нөгөө нэг зорилго нь яах аргагүй миний өөрийн хөгжлийг сараас сард, жилээс жилд хэрхэн өөрчлөгдөж буйг танадах. Блогын эхний саруудад ямаршуухан зүйлс бичиж, уншиж байсныг одоогийнхтой харьцуулахад газар тэнгэр шиг ялгаатай. Яваандаа ч нэлээд өөрчлөгдөнө гэдэгт итгэлтэй байна.
Юутай ч энэ олон жил надтай хамт байж миний блогыг цаг гарган уншдаг бүх найзууддаа баярлалаа. Энэ блог ийм олон жил тасралтгүй явж ирсний хамгийн гол хүчин зүйл нь та нар юм шүү.

Нью-Иоркийн биржийн арилжааны хонхыг Монголын төлөөлөгч цохино гэдэг бол “Айвенхоу майнз”-ыг бус Монгол Улсыг дэлхий дахинд сурталчилсан хэрэг болсон гэж би ойлгож байгаа. Нью-Йоркийн биржийн хонхыг дэлхийд нэр алдартай хүмүүс уригдан цохидог.

Mongolei will 20.000 türkische Männer "importieren"
(AFP)
Istanbul — Um einem akuten Frauenüberschuss in ihrer Bevölkerung entgegen zu wirken, will die Mongolei einem Zeitungsbericht zufolge 20.000 türkische Männer "importieren". Diesen Vorschlag werde eine hochrangige Delegation aus Ulan Bator in den kommenden Tagen bei einem Besuch in Ankara unterbreiten, berichtet die türkische Wirtschaftszeitung "Referans". In der Mongolei, die sich eng mit der Türkei verbunden fühle, komme derzeit ein Mann auf sechs Frauen.
Vorgespräche zwischen den beiden Regierungen seien bereits im Gange, meldete das Blatt unter Berufung auf einen namentlich nicht genannten Regierungsvertreter. Auf welche Weise die möglichen Kandidaten ausgewählt werden sollen, stehe noch nicht fest.

Islam will definitely take on a European cast. That's exactly what happened to Islam in every place it has ever gone. And Muslims can certainly be good Europeans. But non-Muslim Europeans will be the judge of that, too. The Swiss referendum shows that Muslims arrive at a way of being European and believe that they've met the Europeans at the halfway point. But that does not mean non-Muslim Europeans feel the same.Christopher Caldwell on Muslim Integration
Krugman urges Chinese government to quickly abandon its artificial currency devaluation:
[...] there’s the claim that protectionism is always a bad thing, in any circumstances. If that’s what you believe, however, you learned Econ 101 from the wrong people — because when unemployment is high and the government can’t restore full employment, the usual rules don’t apply.
The bottom line is that Chinese mercantilism is a growing problem, and the victims of that mercantilism have little to lose from a trade confrontation. So I’d urge China’s government to reconsider its stubbornness. Otherwise, the very mild protectionism it’s currently complaining about will be the start of something much bigger.

Харин 5000 хүн/тун вакцин хаанаа ч хүрэхгүй байгаа гэдэг нь тодорхой. Ганцхан нийслэлд гэхэд хамгийн түрүүнд вакцинд хамруулах шаардлагатай 22600 хүн байна гээд бодохоор нөгөө 5000 маань аманд ч үгүй хамарт ч үгүй гэдэг шиг болох байх. Энэ 22600 дотор амч эмнэпгийн ажилтнууд, онцгой байдал, хил, гаалийнхан гээд өвчний голомтод ажиллаж байгаа мэргэжлийн хүмүүсээс гадна жирэмсэн, уушгины хүнд өвчтэй хүмүүс гээд энийг нь хойшлуулаад дараа болъё гэж хэлэх боломжгүй хүмүүс байгаа аж. Өчигдөр ЭМЯ дээр багагүй хэрүүл болсон сураг чих дэлсэв. 5000 хүн/тун вакцинаа эмч нартаа хийх үү, эрсдэлтэй иргэддээ хийх үү, аль эсвэл онцгой байдлын албаныханд уу, хотод уу, хөдөөд үү хэмээн багагүй маргалдсан сурагтай. Ялангуяа сүүлийн өдрүүдэд хөдөө орон нутагт өвчлөл ихээр нэмэгдэж байгаа ч хотынхон улсын хүн амын тал нь гэдгээр 5000 вакцинаа авахыг санаархаж байгаа юм шиг байна. Ямар ч байсан өнөөдөр албаны хүмүүс дахин хуралдаж, 5000 вакцинаа яах ийхээ шийдэхээ бололтой. Гэхдээ хурлын үеэр дахин хэрүүл гарахыг үгүйсгэх аргагүй. Энэ хэрүүл дараагийн ээлжийн 55 мянга, тэрний дараагийн 170 мянган хүн /тун вакцин ирсэн үед л нэг юм намжих байх даа.5000 хүн/тун вакцин дээр ”алалцаж” байна
In the PLoS study, mathematician Lauren Ancel Meyers of the University of Texas, Austin, and colleagues analyzed patterns of flu transmission under different assumptions about how likely a carrier is to infect other people. Using data on household size, age distribution and other factors, they compared a strategy that targets infants and the elderly with one targeting those most likely to catch flu: school-age kids.If We Must Ration Vaccines for a Flu, Who Calls the Shots?
For moderately contagious strains, says Prof. Meyers, the optimal strategy is to vaccinate the kids. "This severs the transmission chain," she says, thereby indirectly protecting the old. For very contagious strains, it is better to vaccinate those most likely to die if they catch flu, such as the elderly. "Highly contagious strains can find their way around this buffer of immunized schoolkids," she explains.
Here is a question I will be asking my freshman seminar this week:Mankiw's Question for Class Discussion
You are a utilitarian social planner. You have a limited number of H1N1 vaccines. How do you allocate them? Do you (A) give them to specific groups, such as high-risk populations, or (B) sell them to the highest bidder and rebate the revenue lump-sum to everyone? If you choose (A), do you allow those individuals allocated the vaccine to sell their dose to someone else? Be sure to specify the economic environment as carefully as possible. And remember: Your goal is to maximize total utility.
Value Studies гэсэн ерөнхий нэртэй энэхүү баклаврын програмд философи, урлагийн түүх, утга зохиол, улс төр, кино урлаг, театр зэрэг хүмүүнлэгийн ухааны олон салбарыг нэг багц болгон заах юм (эндээс бүх хичээлүүдийн каталогийг үзээрэй). Хичээлүүд бүгд Англи хэл дээр бөгөөд голцуу нэг ангидаа 8-10 оюутнуудтайгаар семинар хэлбэрээр явагдана. Багш нар нь ихэнхидээ Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Columbia, Cambridge, University of Chicago зэрэг сургуулиудаас PhD-гээ авсан (эндээс багш нарын жагсаалтыг үзэж болно). Багш оюутны харьцаа 1:8. Сургууль нийтдээ 15 орноос ирсэн 50 орчим оюутантай, бүгд нэг дор амьдарна.
Сургалтын төлбөрийн хувьд ойролцоогоор жилийн €15,000 ($22,000) боловч сургуулийн need-based санхүүгийн тусламжид хамрагдсанаар хүн бүр зөвхөн боломжийнхоо хэрээр төлөх боломжтой (иймд ерөнхийдөө ихэнх оюутнуудын төлбөрийг сургууль бүpэн даадаг). Энэхүү төлбөрт замын зардлаас бусад хоол, байр, сурах бичиг, хот доторх тээвэр, музэйн үзвэр, Италийн Флорэнс руу хийх танилцах аялал, 3 дахь жилд гадаадын өөр оронд суралцах гэх мэт бүх зардлууд орно. Үүний дээр кампус дээрээ ажил хийх боломжтой.
Мөн түүнчлэн одоогийн сурч буй сургуулиа дуусгах сонирхолтой хүмүүс болон дээд сургуулиа нэгэнт төгсчихсөн хүмүүст зориулсан нэг жилийн Academy Year болон Project Year гэсэн програмууд бий.

(Facebook ашигладаг хүмүүс энэ хаягаар орж одоогийн болон өмнө нь суралцаж байсан оюутнуудаас мэдээлэл авч болно).
Хэрвээ хичээл болон application-ий талаар биечлэн асууж тодруулах зүйлс байвал коммэнт хэсэгт үлдээх, эсвэл над руу шууд tuvshinred@yahoo.com гэсэн хаягаар и-мэйл бичээрэй.

From Mr Paul Surtees.
Sir, Your correspondent Dietmar Klein (Letters, October 24) commented on the necessity to take barrow-loads of banknotes to be weighed at pre-war German banks.
Only a few years ago, I had a similar experience when living in Ulan Bator in Mongolia. Changing a few hundred pounds into the local currency, tugrik, I was astonished to be given two large plastic bags to contain the Mongolian currency. The bank only had notes of small denomination.
To make it the more disconcerting, these bags that I carried on to the street were transparent! On the other hand, the driver of a taxi that I hastily caught was very pleased to accept a single US dollar as the fare.
I see that a million tugrik are now worth about *425, so it seems that their inflation, sadly, continues apace.

What is considered normal for a person to feel in any place at any point is liable to be an abbreviated version of what is in fact normal, so that the experiences of fictional characters afford us a hugely expanded picture of human behavior, and thereby a confirmation of the essential normality of thoughts or feelings unmentioned in our immediate environment.from Alain de Botton's How Proust Can Change Your Life--a highly recommended book for those who want to uncover the pleasures--and sorrows--of the Proustian world.
So what is the authentic instrument to be used by the reader? It is impersonal imagination and artistic delight. What should be established, I think, is an artistic harmonious balance between the reader’s mind and the author’s mind. We ought to remain a little aloof and take pleasure in this aloofness while at the same time we keenly enjoy—passionately enjoy, enjoy with tears and shivers—the inner weave of a given masterpiece. To be quite objective in these matters is of course impossible. Everything that is worthwhile is to some extent subjective. For instance, you sitting there may be merely my dream, and I may be your nightmare. But what I mean is that the reader must know when and where to curb his imagination and this he does by trying to get clear the specific world the author places at his disposal. We must see things and hear things, we must visualize the rooms, the clothes, the manners of an author’s people. The color of Fanny Price’s eyes in Mansfield Park and the furnishing of her cold little room are important.
Нөхдүүдэд сонирхолтой байж магадгүй гээд энэ зун найзаасаа олж авсан ховор бичлэгүүдээс ганц хоёрыг нь тавихаар шийдлээ. Эхнийх нь Халимагийн Окна Цаhан Замын хайлсан Жангар тууль. Ер нь манай Баруун Монголын соёлын энэ том өвийг манайхан ердөө тууль чигээр нь авч үзээд цааш судлаж олны хүртээл болгодоггүй нь жаахан харамсалтай (хэрвээ Барууны Great Books маягийн хичээлд хамрагдаж үзсэн бол Илиад, Одиссэйг ямар их цаг, анхаарал зарцуулж уншдагийг мэднэ байх). Юутай ч миний мэдэхийн хүн зоноосоо хамаарч Жангарыг газар бүр өөр өөрөөр дуулдаг. Гэхдээ тэдгээрийн дундаас Цагаан Замын дуулсан хувилбар бол яах аргагүй хамгийн мундаг нь. Өөр илүү гарах--ялангуяа амьд--хувилбарыг нь сонсож үзсэн хүмүүс байвал өөрсдийнхөө сэтгэгдэлээс хуваалцаарай.
Харамсалтай нь энэ бичлэг ердөө нэгхэн цагийн урттай. Миний сонссоноор бүтэн эхийг нь хайлбал хэдэн өдөр болдог юм гэсэн. Мэдээж эхэлж сонсч байгаа мань мэтэд энэ ямар хамаа байхав. Хамгийн эхлээд ямаршуухан зүйл байдгийг нь мэдээд авах л чухал.
Хэрвээ Жангарын бүтэн эхийг нь сонирхож байвал эндээс уншаарай (Халимаг дээр, гэхдээ хичээх юм бол утга нь бүрэн ойлгогдоно; даан ч Цагаан Зам яг хаанаас нь эхлээд хаана дуусаад байгааг олж чадсангүй). Үүний дээр Монголын Радиогийн сэтгүүлч Д. Чулуунцэцэгийн Бээжингээс бэлтгэсэн "Жангар хийгээд жангарчид..." нэвтрүүлгийг сонсч үзэхийг зөвлөе (энэ дээр дарж сонсоорой). Энэ нэвтрүүлэгт Халимаг, Торгууд хоёр залуу Жангарыг хайлахаас гадна төгсгөлд нь Цагаан Замын дээр дурьдсан хувилбар явна. Сонирхож байвал бас энэ Шинжааны Ойрад Монголчуудын хувилбарыг сонсоорой.

Хоёр дахь нь Тувагийн алдарт хөөмийч Ойдупаа Владимир Ойуны урьд өмнө нь хаана ч тавигдаж байгаагүй хувийн бичлэг (Англиар бол Bootleg recording юм уу даа). Түүнтэй нөхөрлөж байсан андын маань хэлснээр бол мань эр жинхэнэ "Mensch" гэж байгаа :P Харин Хашаагийн тодорхойлсноор бол "Tувадаа Ж.Ф.Кеннеди, Майкл Жордан, Элвис Преслиг нийлүүлсэн дайтай лут эр" Конгар-ол Ондараас мундаг нөхөр :))
Энэ бичлэг дээр Ойдупаа яг юу хийгээд байгааг нь нарийн мэдэхгүй юм. Миний ойлгосноор бол хөгжмийнхөө утсан дээгүүр Америкийн bluesman-ууд шиг төмөр гулсуулаад байх шиг байгаа юм--өөр ямар ч хөгжимчин тэгдэггүй гэнэ.
Үүний дээр хэрвээ сонирхож байвал түүний Divine Music From a Jail цомгийг upload хийж болж байна (мөн түүнчлэн Hun-Huur-Tu, Chirgilchin, Gennadi Tumat, Igor Koshkendey, Kongor-ol Ondar, Kaigal-ol Kovalyg гэх мэт олон хөөмийчдийн цомгууд бий).

From the 19th century until now, keeping only to English and American authors, a slightly more arbitrary selection might include Blake, Wordsworth, Austen, Dickens, George Eliot, Hardy, Yeats and Joyce in England and Ireland. Among the Americans would certainly be Emerson, Thoreau, Melville, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, Hawthorne; and in the 20th century, Faulkner and the major poets: Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, T. S. Eliot, Hart Crane.
Outside of Iran, the Russian business is supported by the United States as a productive use of Soviet legacy uranium enrichment plants in Russia. In Iran, the United States opposed the power plant’s construction but approved the Russian fuel shipments. By encouraging the commercial availability of Russian enrichment services, the United States deprives other countries of the rationale to have enrichment programs of their own.Russian Power Company to Mine Uranium in Mongolia

On economy:
Our responsibility as politicians is to refocus our attention on those non-economic values that have been thrown aside by the march of globalism. We must work on policies that regenerate the ties that bring people together, that take greater account of nature and the environment, that rebuild welfare and medical systems, that provide better education and child-rearing support, and that address wealth disparities.
[...] we must not forget our identity as a nation located in Asia. I believe that the East Asian region, which is showing increasing vitality, must be recognized as Japan’s basic sphere of being. So we must continue to build frameworks for stable economic cooperation and security across the region.
I believe that regional integration and collective security is the path we should follow toward realizing the principles of pacifism and multilateral cooperation advocated by the Japanese Constitution. It is also the appropriate path for protecting Japan’s political and economic independence and pursuing our interests in our position between the United States and China.
How should Japan maintain its political and economic independence and protect its national interest when caught between the United States, which is fighting to retain its position as the world’s dominant power, and China, which is seeking ways to become dominant?The last passage reminds me of Baabar's latest article.
This is a question of concern not only to Japan but also to the small and medium-sized nations in Asia. They want the military power of the U.S. to function effectively for the stability of the region but want to restrain U.S. political and economic excesses. They also want to reduce the military threat posed by our neighbor China while ensuring that China’s expanding economy develops in an orderly fashion. These are major factors accelerating regional integration.

Since I was a boy, I have known the joy of sailing the waters off Cape Cod. And for all my years in public life, I have believed that America must sail toward the shores of liberty and justice for all. There is no end to that journey, only the next great voyage. We know the future will outlast all of us, but I believe that all of us will live on in the future we make.Remarks of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy during Harvard honors convocation
The hottest places in Hell are reserved for those who in time of moral crisis preserve their neutrality.JFK's favourite quote from Dante (Baabar uuniig neg heseg uuruu Divine Comedy unshij baigaad olson yum shig l baahan ishilsen)
At the end of his deeply affecting memoir, the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy writes about his grandson “Little Teddy” — the son of his son “Medium Teddy” who delivered such a heartbreaking eulogy at the senator’s funeral on Saturday — and his difficulties mastering the family tradition of sailing. The senator told the 10-year-old “we might not be the best,” but “we can work harder than anyone,” and Little Teddy stayed with it, grew eager to learn and started winning races. That, the senator writes, “is the greatest lesson anyone can learn”: that if you “stick with it,” that if, as the title of his book suggests, you keep a “true compass” and do your best, you will eventually “get there.”
[Cuparaque, Brazil] has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in remittances from abroad, making it a living example of one of the most talked-about development tools of recent years. But while private dollars have improved private lives, fundamental infrastructure is still badly lacking: Cuparaque, with a population of 4,300, doesn’t yet have a hospital, the drinking water system is faulty and the only way into town is a half-hour drive down a dirt road that becomes impassable in rain. And the influx of money brought few new jobs beyond house construction. Sueli Siqueira, a Brazilian sociologist who studies return migration to the region, has found that money earned by emigrants abroad has rarely generated sustainable employment opportunities.

The greatest beauty can offer;
I say it is whatever a person
Most lusts after.
Showing you all will be no trouble:
Helen surpassed all humankind
In looks but left the world's most noble
Husband behind.
Coasting off to Troy where she
Thought nothing of her loving parent
And only child but, led astray...
...and I think of Anaktoria
Far away...
And I would rather watch her body
Sway, her glistening face flash dalliance
Than Lydian war cars at the ready
And armed battalions.

LET us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherised upon a table;

Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question …
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit

This following passage was the first thing came to my mind when I was gazing at this beautiful work of art:
[T]he Jew forthwith replied:--"I think God owes them all an evil recompense: I tell thee, so far as I was able to carry my investigations, holiness, devotion, good works or exemplary living in any kind was nowhere to be found in any clerk; but only lewdness, avarice, gluttony, and the like, and worse, if worse may be, appeared to be held in such honour of all, that (to my thinking) the place is a centre of diabolical rather than of divine activities. To the best of my judgment, your Pastor, and by consequence all that are about him devote all their zeal and ingenuity and subtlety to devise how best and most speedily they may bring the Christian religion to nought and banish it from the world. And because I see that what they so zealously endeavour does not come to pass, but that on the contrary your religion continually grows, and shines more and more clear, therein I seem to discern a very evident token that it, rather than any other, as being more true and holy than any other, has the Holy Spirit for its foundation and support. For which cause, whereas I met your exhortations in a harsh and obdurate temper, and would not become a Christian, now I frankly tell you that I would on no account omit to become such. Go we then to the church, and there according to the traditional rite of your holy faith let me receive baptism."Boccaccio's The Decameron: First Day, Second Novel
Video of the day (for one very special person):
Hard ideas define a culture — that of serious reading, an institution vital to democracy itself. In a recent article, Stephen L. Carter, Yale law professor and novelist, underscores "the importance of reading books that are difficult. Long books. Hard books. Books with which we have to struggle. The hard work of serious reading mirrors the hard work of serious governing — and, in a democracy, governing is a responsibility all citizens share." The challenge for university presses is to better turn our penchant for hard ideas to greater purpose.A Manifesto for Scholarly Publishing
In its crudest form—the idea that economics as a whole is discredited—the current backlash has gone far too far. If ignorance allowed investors and politicians to exaggerate the virtues of economics, it now blinds them to its benefits. Economics is less a slavish creed than a prism through which to understand the world. It is a broad canon, stretching from theories to explain how prices are determined to how economies grow. Much of that body of knowledge has no link to the financial crisis and remains as useful as ever.What went wrong with economics
And if economics as a broad discipline deserves a robust defence, so does the free-market paradigm. Too many people, especially in Europe, equate mistakes made by economists with a failure of economic liberalism. Their logic seems to be that if economists got things wrong, then politicians will do better. That is a false—and dangerous—conclusion.
Design touches all sectors of our daily life, and increasing awareness of that reality can result in tremendous benefit for all. Is design about aesthetics? Of course it is, but that’s just one of its many facets. Design can save time, money and one’s sanity. It can simplify use, enhance enjoyment, and keep us safe and well.Designs on Policy + Currency Exchange (the world’s best and worst banknote designs) + uul ni mungutey baisan bol Tufte-giin course-d suuh l bailaa :(
Q. What’s the most important leadership lesson you’ve learned?Shantanu Narayen: Connecting the Dots Isn’t Enough + "Corner Office" column: "talks with top executives about the challenges of leading and managing"
A.[..]I think two leadership lessons really stand out for me. He forced me to think about doing things that I did not think were possible. Challenging individuals by setting goals and then letting them use their ingenuity to accomplish them is something that I hope I can pass on as part of my leadership style. If you set a common vision and then get really scary-smart people, they do things that amaze you.
The other aspect of being a good manager has always been getting gratification from what others do, because the higher you get in management, frankly, the less you do yourself.
By the late 1970s, I had concluded that, for all the good intentions and abilities of its staff, the [World] Bank was a fatally flawed institution. The most important source of its failures was its commitment to lending, almost regardless of what was happening in the country it was lending to. This was an inevitable flaw since the institution could hardly admit that what it could offer -- money -- would often make little difference. But this flaw was magnified by the personality of Robert McNamara, former US Defence Secretary, who was a dominating president from 1967 to 1981. McNamara was a man of ferocious will, personal commitment to alleviating poverty and frighteningly little common sense. By instinct, he was a planner and quantifier. . .
I had worked on India as senior divisional economist for three years. During that time, my chief function, so far as the Bank was concerned, was to justify the provision of significant quantities of aid, even though this money was helping the government of India avoid desperately needed policy changes. As it turned out, those changes were made in the midst of a deep foreign exchange crisis in 1991, almost two wasted decades later. The changes were made under the direction of Manmohan Singh, then finance minister, with the assistance of Montek Ahluwalia as economic secretary and later finance secretary. This experience confirmed three lessons: policy changes could make a huge difference to economic performance; such changes could be put into effect by relatively small teams of intelligent, motivated and well-disciplined individuals; and, most important of all, those changes could not be imposed from outside.
Unfortunately, lending too much was not the Bank's only fault. It also had to lend to governments. This had two undesirable consequences: it had to assume that the government represented the interests of the country; and it reinforced an unjustifiably collectivist view of that national interest. Bank lending made it easier for corrupt and occasionally vicious governments to ignore the interests and wishes of their peoples. By the end of my time at the Bank, I came to the conclusion that its borrowers fell into three categories -- those that did not need the help; those that would not use the help; and those that needed the help and would use it. The Bank was constitutionally incapable of concentrating its efforts on this third, often quite small group. As a result, its efforts were often either unnecessary or wasteful. I therefore came to agree with most of the criticisms of aid that had long been made by the late Peter (Lord) Bauer.

Students spend their days memorizing and doing individual, silent written drills or oral drills in total unison. Their entire education is geared toward memorizing every single bit of information that could possibly materialize on, first, their high school entrance exams, and next, their college entrance exams. This makes sense, because admission to public high schools and universities in China is based entirely on test scores.
And yet, to an American student used to the freedom of debate during history or English class, to free discussion of possible methods for solving different math problems, the work seems hollow and too directed.[...]
It's more that there is very little room to maneuver: There is one good way to solve a math problem, or one way to program a computer, or one good way to do homework. Every class has the same homework, a worksheet printed on wafer paper, and essays are rare. Novels are not taught in class, and teachers encourage outside reading of histories rather than fiction. The only fiction texts read in class are excerpts from the four classics (Imperial texts that are not considered novels) and Imperial poetry. The point of class is to cram as much information into the students in as little time as possible, all in preparation for entrance exams.
Students lack the opportunity to discuss and digest what they learn. Most rarely participate in political discussions outside class. [...] Chinese schools have many strengths, but they do not foster many broadly philosophical thinkers.
The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two categories: those who react with "Wow! Signore professore dottore Eco, what a library you have! How many of these books have you read?" and the others -- a very small minority -- who get the point that a private library is not an ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you do not know as your financial means, mortgage rates, and the currently tight real-estate market allow you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look at you menacingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.From the introduction of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's The Black Swan

“The Britannica was a physical embodiment of the existence of a serious world where there was a lot to be learned beyond one’s own experience,” Randall Stross, author of the books “The Microsoft Way” and “Planet Google”, said in a telephone conversation. “Just having it on the shelf was a way to remind kids of the importance of education, and it was a counterweight to all the trivial and even dangerous pursuits that surrounded them.”

From "Human Nature: Justice versus Power" Noam Chomsky debate with Michel Foucault:
[...] if it is correct, as I believe it is, that a fundamental element of human nature is the need for creative work, for creative inquiry, for free creation without the arbitrary limiting effect of coercive institutions, then, of course, it will follow that a decent society should maximise the possibilities for this fundamental human characteristic to be realised. That means trying to overcome the elements of repression and oppression and destruction and coercion that exist in any existing society, ours for example, as a historical residue.Video excerpt of Chomsky-Foucault Debate

The Chilean peso has risen almost 10 percent against the dollar this year to become the best-performing currency among emerging markets.

[...]When Velasco joined Bachelet’s new cabinet in March 2006, the price of copper had risen by more than half in 12 months to $2.25 a pound. Taxes and profits from state-owned Codelco, the world’s largest copper producer, provide about 15 percent of government revenue. Bachelet, 57, Chile’s second consecutive socialist president, came under almost immediate pressure to start spending the revenue. Students went on strike in May of that year, demanding more money for education. More than 800,000 people protested at high schools and universities, and police with water cannons and tear gas arrested more than 1,000.

The new, post-print literary media are certainly amenable to brevity. The blog post and the tweet may be ephemeral rather than lapidary, but the culture in which they thrive is fed by a craving for more narrative and a demand for pith. And just as the iPod has killed the album, so the Kindle might, in time, spur a revival of the short story. If you can buy a single song for a dollar, why wouldn’t you spend that much on a handy, compact package of character, incident and linguistic invention? Why wouldn’t you collect dozens, or hundreds, into a personal anthology, a playlist of humor, pathos, mystery and surprise?In Praise of the American Short Story - A.O.Scott on American short story
The death of the novel is yesterday’s news. The death of print may be tomorrow’s headline. But the great American short story is still being written, and awaits its readers.
I keep saying the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians. People think I’m joking, but who would’ve guessed that computer engineers would’ve been the sexy job of the 1990s? The ability to take data—to be able to understand it, to process it, to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it—that’s going to be a hugely important skill in the next decades, not only at the professional level but even at the educational level for elementary school kids, for high school kids, for college kids. Because now we really do have essentially free and ubiquitous data. So the complimentary scarce factor is the ability to understand that data and extract value from it.Hal Varian on how the Web challenges managers

Citizen A cuts down on his purchases of widgets. Company B that makes the widgets cuts down staff, who in turn reduce their spending. Sales collapse in the local supermarket, putting yet more people on to the dole. Thus we drive ourselves into a slump, which has little to do with what some economists call “creative destruction”. It is just a stupid downward spiral that is pushed even further down by media pronouncements about how people should cut their spending.Samuel Brittain - Demand matters, not animal spirits

Буддын гүн ухаанд "Буяны хууль" гэдгээр бүх үйлд ханддаг. Энэ хуулиар бусдад тус болоод, тус болж байгаагаа өөрөө мэдэхгүй байх ёстой. Одоогийн хэлээр бол "үнэлэхгүй" байх ёстой. "Ма-ма", "ла-ма" эд нар чинь ерөөсөө үнээ гэсэн үг гэж байгаа юм ш дээ. Yнээ гэдэг үрээ болоод энэ хүн төрөлхтнийг сүүгээрээ угжиж, цатгаж, цайлж байгаа. Yнээ өөрөө үүнийг мэдэхгүй. Тэгэхээр хамгийн буянтай амьтан байгаа байхгүй юу. Єнөөдөр тэрбум төгрөг бусдад өгөөд тэрийгээ мартаж чадахгүй байгаа бол тэр буян биш. Яагаад гэвэл араас нь хармын сэтгэл дагаад, хариу нэхээд явдаг. Хариу нэхээгүй, хармын сэтгэл цээжинд нь үүсээгүй тийм өглөгийг буян гэж үздэг. Yнээ бол "Урианхай миний сүүг уучихлаа, атга өвс илүү өгөх болов уу" гэж бодохгүй ш дээ. Тэгэхээр үнээ бол буяны багш.2003 оны “Болор цом”-ын эзэн, МЗЭ-ийн шагналт яруу найрагч Д.Урианхай
Niu ["bull" or "ox" in Chinese] has been an important force on Chinese farms for thousands of years. Therefore, in Chinese culture, Niu is often used to symbolize a hardworking and trustworthy spirit. There is a famous saying in Chinese - "Although Niu only eats grass, it produces milk" - which praises Niu's willingness to contribute. In addition, a poem by the 20th-century Chinese writer Lu Xun brings home Niu's attitude of serving without complaining: "To a thousand pointing fingers I defy with fierce brows, and to younglings I'd be fain to bow and serve as a Niu." Niu's qualities - no-complaints, trustworthiness, unselfishness, and willingness to give and serve the people - are exactly the spirit that we should pursue in a time of uncertainty, anxiety, and fear amid the crisis.Pursuing the spirit of Niu
