Tim Dickinson, Rolling Stone
Dickinson writes: "Since ultraconservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper - famously described by one Canadian columnist as 'our version of George W.

On our radar


Game Theory calls cooperation into question. A recent solution to the prisoner’s dilemma, a classic game theory scenario, has created new puzzles in evolutionary biology. The best strategies were selfish ones.

How does global inequality manifest itself in a world of nation states? A fight between populism and plutocracy, argues Branko Milanovic.

A global wealth tax is not the best way to solve inequality, says Thomas Piketty, who called for one in his best-seller Capitalism in the 21C. He now thinks the answer may be making capitalism more German.

The real value of China’s stock market. “Since the reforms of the last decade, China’s stock market has become as informative about future corporate profits as in the US.”

China’s vision for modernizing the United Nations. China wants to use its UN Security Council presidency to ask big questions about 21C global governance. If UN reform, can’t work, China may look for new long-term partners.
