Ngược lại, thứ ma quỷ này đã thống trị thế giới của chúng ta. Nhân loại tuyệt đối không được tưởng lầm mà lạc quan! Chủ nghĩa cộng sản hoàn toàn không phải là một trào lưu tư tưởng, học thuyết hay một thử nghiệm thất bại nhằm tìm lối ra cho nhân loại. Nó là ma quỷ, còn gọi là tà linh cộng sản, do hận và các loại vật chất bại hoại ở tầng thấp của vũ trụ cấu thành. Nó vốn dĩ là một con rắn, đến không gian bề mặt thì thể hiện dưới hình thức một con rồng đỏ. Nó đứng cùng hàng ngũ với Sa tăng, cừu hận chính Thần, đồng thời lợi dụng các loại linh thể ở tầng thấp và ma gây họa loạn nhân gian. Mục đích cuối cùng của con tà linh này là hủy diệt nhân loại; khi Thần quay lại cứu độ nhân loại, tà linh cộng sản bảo con người đừng tin Thần, khiến cho đạo đức của con người bại hoại đến mức độ giũ bỏ Thần và truyền thống, không hiểu lời dạy bảo và giáo huấn

  • The Geography of Europe's Brain Business Jobs
    The Geography of Europe’s Brain Business Jobs Dr. Nima Sanandaji Prof. Stefan Fölster European Centre for Policy Reform and Entrepreneurship Supported by NC Advisory AB, advisor to the Nordic Capital Funds 1 The Nordics are well known as a dynamic and creative region. As reported by the Telegraph, Stockholm, the Swedish capital, is the world’s second most prolific tech hub on a per capita basis, behind only Silicon Valley. This isn’t a coincidence. Talented professionals thrive in Scandinavia – a fact that has now received further confirmation through the report you are holding in your hands. As an active investor in Europe – particularly in the Nordic region – Nordic Cap- ital’s continuous goal is to develop understanding of the business environment and ways in which it can be improved. We are therefore pleased to have had the opportunity to support this report. Nordic Capital is one of the longest established and most active private equity investors in the Nordic region, and this report ex- pands understanding of brain business jobs – jobs that are crucial for income and productivity growth. This report gives the reader an excellent overview of the various sectors where brain business jobs are found, as well as an allocation of these sectors between countries and capital regions in Europe. The report also sheds light on the shift- ing landscape for knowledge-intensive businesses. On an ever-changing playing field, it is crucial to closely monitor developments to identify ways in which organ- isations can address changes and work to remain one step ahead. The Nordics are top-ranked in the study, with Sweden ranked number one in terms of attracting brain business jobs.

  • Immaterial Value Creation in Europe
    IMMATERIAL VALUE CREATION IN EUROPE By Dr. Nima Sanandaji Foreword by Per Strömbäck 1 Summary Immaterial value creation plays a key role in what is commonly referred to as the knowledge intensive economy. Intellectual property rights (IPR) – such as patents, design rights, trademarks and copyrights – are used to protect the intellectual property that results from immaterial value creation. While nearly all businesses rely on IPR to some extent, some are intensely reliant on this form of protection. This study examines the European Union business sectors, to determine the share of economic value created and the share of jobs that exist in IPR-intensive businesses. The survey is based on data for 2011, 2012 and 2013. It covers the most detailed information available for the European Union business sector, collected from the Eurostat database. The key finding is that 40 per cent of employment in the European business sector and 51 per cent of value created in the sector occurs in IPR-intensive businesses. All business activity in publishing, film, music and software are classified as IPR-intensive. The reason is that the value produced mainly has the form of digital content, protected by copyright. The majority of value added in a number of other sectors is also IPR-intensive. This includes ICT, manufacturing, professional services, real estate and trade. Utilities as well as accommodation and food services on the other hand have negligible shares of IPR-intensive businesses. Although differences exist among European Union member states, the share of IPR-intensive business activity is high across the union. Besides the direct effect on job creation it is likely that, as pointed out by an American study, IPR-intensive businesses also indirectly stimulate job creation in the rest of the economy.
