		<description><![CDATA[Greg Mankiw, an economics professor at Harvard and a former advisor to Republican Presidents, wrote an excellent open letter to President Obama in the NYTimes (which I missed) offering advice regarding the best way to deal with the new Republican Congress on economic issues. The column highlights key differences in philosophy and outlook between big government types [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My New Year&#8217;s Resolutions are probably the same as most people &#8211; lose weight, be healthier, earn more, read lots, learn a new skill, be kinder/gentler/nicer etc. They have started off reasonably well.  I am calorie counting and exercising everyday.  I have had an interview for a new job (hopefully know the outcome soon).  I&#8217;ve made [...]]]></description>

Dad worked for a large multinational company with interests in resources, and West Africa was becoming a region of interest for a lot of foreign corporations. The small nation had experienced a period of growth since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am not one of those who get agitated at filmmaker Michael Moore&#8217;s diatribes against capitalism, or Al Gore&#8217;s An Inconvenient Truth, or Zionist conspiracies. Propaganda is everywhere in our society, it is usually recognisable, and the people that hold similarly strong views are normally zealots themselves. But I do occassionally get agitated at versions [...]]]></description>

Across that time I&#8217;ve learnt a number of &#8220;rules&#8221; which I think young political aspirationals would do well to follow to further their own political careers, regardless of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An excellent paper on Australia&#8217;s tax and transfer system, and the perverse effect it has on marginal tax rates, has been released by two economists from The Commonwealth Treasury. The paper&#8217;s abstract reads: Australia has a progressive personal income tax schedule with a seemingly simple five rate structure (including a zero rate).

It seems as though we do this every year, with Perthonalities saying that we are sick of winter, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you were summing up the world in 2011, you would say it was pessimistic. Lacking confidence. Depressed. It&#8217;s the obvious conclusion any traveller draws from trips around Australia or overseas. Visiting Dublin earlier this year, every waitress and hotel manager just shook their heads and said nothing when I asked how business was. But [...]]]></description>
