A piece in the NYT Magazine (Friends, Friends With Benefits and the Benefits of the Local Mall) and one in NYT online (What Adolescents Miss When We Let Them Grow Up in Cyberspace) hint at signs of the times - I was quite surprised reading this, and what media/cultural slippery slope has led to.
About Me
- Ted Hu
- Passionate about political economy and believe that some of the world's most intractable problems can start to be effectively addressed through a deliberate, balanced approach to economic development and growth. Believe tax cuts have been over hyped, considering how little we are doing to incentivize private-sector R&D to drive fundamental innovation and to promote business investments developing new markets. I believe technology + smart policymaking are key enablers that need to be embraced by developed nations in a deliberate fashion to address developing nations' issues related to scarcity that cause a disproportionate degree of suffering, which in turn engender terror and global unrest. More trade agreements that promote a significant number of low-paying but life-sustaining jobs, renewable and affordable energy, cheap and nutritious foods, ubiquitous access to vaccines and birth control for 75% of the world's population that have little or nil. * This blog reflects my own views, not that of my employer whatsoever.
