My fiance clued me to this intriguing tale that leads down some dark corridors shedding light on a battle between old diamond interests (De Beers) and a few gutsy, bleeding-edge scientists and entrepeneurs. May very well change the face of technology as we know it today.
And De Beers Agrees to Guilty Plea to Re-enter the U.S. Market.
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.
