Here Are The Top 25 Cities You Should Visit In Your Lifetime. You’ll Never Guess #1!

10 lieux abandonnés à travers le monde qui vont vous faire frissonner Lorsque nous étions petits, les maisons abandonnées étaient l'objet de tous les fantasmes ! Fantômes, monstres et sorcières y étaient forcément pour quelque chose ... Aujourd'hui, les lieux abandonnés me mettent carrément la chair de poule et je m'intéresse bien moins à ce que je vais pouvoir y trouver. A moins, bien entendu, que les clichés soient magnifiques et c'est le cas de ces photographies. Je vous entraîne donc avec moi à la découverte de lieux abandonnés à travers le monde. 1. Pripyat est une ville d'Ukraine crée en février 1970 à la frontière de la Biélorussie. 2. Cette ville sous l'eau est vieille de 1341 ans ! 3. Ce gros complexe fut fondé à la fin du XIXème siècle. 4. Ouvert en 1928 près des Chutes Tequendema, il hébergeait les touristes qui venaient admirer le spectacle. 5. Cette île Japonaise cumule les surnoms et les plus répandus sont "Gost Isalnd" ou "Battleship Island" (pour sa forme). Pour voir la suite, rendez-vous page 2 !

Nejednakost nije problem U svojoj čuvenoj knjizi Kapital u 21. veku, Tomas Piketi napominje da je Napoleon opravdavao koncentraciju bogatstva i visoku nejednakost u Francuskoj jer je, po njegovom mišljenju, Francuska bila meritokratska država. Ako ste bili vredni i nadareni, mogli ste da napredujete – čak i u to vreme. Takve preterane tvrdnje o pokretljivosti dugo su bile argument povlašćenih sa vrha lestvice bogatstva. Američki san je, naravno, izgrađen na ovoj osnovnoj tvrdnji. Međutim, od početka godine, značajni uvidi Piketija i drugih ekonomista postali su deo mejnstrim debate, osporavajući stare pretpostavke o tome da je Amerika meritokratsko društvo. Ekonomski konzervativci su ranije često tvrdili da je nejednakost u redu dokle god je prihodna pokretljivost velika. Prihodna pokretljivost se obično meri tako što se utvrdi da li deca roditelja iz jedne prihodne grupe – recimo, donjih 20 odsto – prelaze u narednu petinu, pa zatim dalje. Od Velike recesije, rast je još manji.

Idées de randonnée avec Visorando Novo zlatno doba Prikaz knjige Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas Piketty, Belknap Press/Harvard University Press 2014 Tomas Piketi, profesor Ekonomskog fakulteta u Parizu, nije poznato ime, iako će se to možda promeniti objavljivanjem engleskog prevoda njegove veličanstvene, sveobuhvatne meditacije o nejednakosti, Kapital u dvadeset prvom veku. Međutim, njegov uticaj je dubok. Često se može čuti da živimo u drugom zlatnom dobu – ili, kako Piketi voli da kaže, drugom Bel epoku – definisanom neverovatnim usponom „jednog procenta“. Ali ovo je postalo opšte mesto samo zahvaljujući Piketijevom radu. Konkretno, on i nekoliko njegovih kolega (pre svega Entoni Atkinson sa Oksforda i Emanuel Saez sa Berklija) ustanovili su statističke tehnike koje nam omogućavaju da pratimo koncentraciju prihoda i bogatstva daleko u prošlost – do početka dvadesetog veka u Americi i Britaniji, i čak do kraja osamnaestog veka u Francuskoj. Međutim, današnja ekonomija je sasvim drugačija od one iz 19. veka, zar ne? Zašto?
