A study proving what we all know, that political ties to the Federal Reserve or to Congressmen on the Financial committees are way more important to receiving federal monies than actual financial stability. Also the first line is awesome: “Adam Smith, Charles Darwin and George Washington are not only rolling in their graves, they are dancing the macarena”
Somali sea gangs lure investors at pirate lair →
Capitalism at work. Somali pirates set up a sort of stock exchange where anyone can invest in pirating operations and receive a return on it. I could make an joke about markets here in the US and over there, but… it kind of speaks for itself.

AIG had reason to be pleased with its purchase. Water utilities are one hell of a profitable business, with international corporations easily making a 20 to 30% profit margin, according to a 2007 report by Food and Water Watch. In the US, federal regulations limit profits to 10%, a pesky rule that companies easily subvert by shuffling their income around and “investing” it in side businesses....
