  • A Broken Immigration System at Work
    The Insightful Immigration Blog Commentaries on Immigration Policy, Cases and Trends http://blog.cyrusmehta.com THE BLOCKING OF AN ENTREPRENEUR: A BROKEN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM AT WORK Author : Cyrus Mehta 3D printing technology is about to revolutionize the way we understand manufacturing, and the country that takes the lead in this new technology will be the winner ofwhat The Economist magazine has called the third industrial revolution. A state of the art hearing aid or a high tech component for a military jet can be designed through a computer and printed on an unattended 3D printer as a solid functioning object. Yet, the US Customs and Border Protection on the Canadian border recently refused admission to a dual national Canadian/British entrepreneur JF Brandon who is part of a startup called D Shape – which has developed a large-scale 3D printer that will revolutionize the way architectural design is planned, and building constructions are executed. By simply pressing the “enter” key on the keypad D Shape gives the architect the possibility to make buildings directly, without intermediaries who can add interpretation and realization mistakes. Although refused entry into the United States, Mr. Brandon participated in a panel discussion on February 13, 2012 at Brooklyn Law School in New York entitled Immigration Policy and Entrepreneurship: Challenges and Pathways for Startups. Thanks to technology that has now become so routine, he could participate through Skype from overseas, and told a riveted audience that he had been refused entry under a NAFTA TN visa to work for D Shape in New York, which is limited to certain occupational categories and applies to Canadian and Mexican citizens.

  • Conclusions and Solutions John H
    CHAPTER SEVEN Conclusions and Solutions John H. Cochrane, Lee E. Ohanian, George P. Shultz Part 1: John H. Cochrane Why and How We Care about Inequality Wrapping up a wonderful conference about facts, our panel is sup- posed to talk about “solutions” to the “problem” of inequality. We have before us one “solution,” the demand from the left for confi scatory income and wealth taxation and a substantial enlarge- ment of the control of economic activity by the state. Note I don’t say “redistribution,” though some academics dream about it. We all know there isn’t enough money, especially to address real global poverty, and the sad fact is that government checks don’t cure poverty. President Obama was refreshingly clear, calling for confi scatory taxation even if it raised no income. “Off with their heads” solves inequality, in a French-Revolution sort of way, and not by using the hair to make wigs for the poor. Th e agenda includes a big expansion of spending on govern- ment programs, minimum wages, “living wages,” government control of wages, especially by minutely divided groups, CEO pay regulation, unions, “regulation” of banks, central direction of all fi nance, and so on. Th e logic is inescapable. To “solve inequality,” don’t just take money from the rich. Stop people, and especially the “wrong” people, from getting rich in the fi rst place. HH6781.indb6781.indb 114747 110/22/150/22/15 77:40:16:40:16 AAMM 148 John H. Cochrane, Lee E. Ohanian, George P. Shultz In this context, I think it is a mistake to accept the premise that inequality, per se, is a “problem” needing to be “solved,” and to craft “alternative solutions.” Just why is inequality, per se, a problem? Suppose a sack of money blows in the room.

During the Great Recession of 2008-2009 and the difficult year that followed, nearly nine million American jobs were eliminated. The damage to U.S. labor markets was the most extensive, in both absolute and percentage terms, since the Great Depression, destroying all employment base growth over the previous decade. Just as alarming—and in stark contrast to the historical pattern of deep recessions being followed by sharp rebounds—more than five years after the Great Recession, annualized economic growth remains a subpar 2 percent and nearly 20 million Americans remain either out of work, underemployed, or have left the workforce discouraged. Indeed, August was the 50th month in the past 51 in which more unemployed Americans left the workforce discouraged than found jobs. According to the Brookings Institution’s Hamilton Project, America will likely not return to pre-recession levels of employment until 2018.

    ENTREPRENEUR INSPIRATION ##### ##### ##### Roger James Hamilton !1 www.geniusu.com Edition 2 Welcome Hello, A few years ago, I began writing and posting images and stories on Facebook that inspired me as an Entrepreneur. Early in 2015, I put them into a Facebook album. The album went viral and has now been shared over 400,000 times and the different stories within the album had also been shared a combined 1,000,000+ times across different social media channels. In 2016 I published the stories into an ebook. With the number of new stories in the last year, it was time for a second issue. That’s what you’re reading right now. Here is the link to the Facebook album. Here is the link to the download page. If you have chosen to subscribe by email, you’ll get links to my stories. And you can subscribe to my FB profile, to get my new posts on your FB newsfeed. As the Founder of Entrepreneurs Institute, Entrepreneur Resorts and GeniusU, and as the Creator of Wealth Dynamics and Talent Dynamics, my mission is to support the entrepreneur movement. I’ve made this book free so it’s simple to share.

  • Versuch Gegen Libertarismus Und Monopolismus
    Versuch gegen Libertarismus und Monopolismus Michael W. Bader, Oktober 2015 1 Versuch gegen Libertarismus und Monopolismus Michael W.

Libertarismus 2.0 Die Anfänge des neuen Silicon-Valley-Libertarismus gehen auf die wilden sechziger Jahre zurück und resultieren auf der damals nicht zuletzt auch von der Hippie-Kultur gepflegten Ablehnung jeglicher Art von Hierarchie und Autorität. 1 Thomas Schulz, „Das Morgen-Land.“ Der Spiegel, Nr.
