Ip Assignment, Per Capita
"Under IPv4 there are 4,294,967,296 possible IP addresses - each of
which may be assigned to a device or computer on the internet. 4 billion
addresses equates to slightly less that two thirds of an IP address per
person on the planet. As you may imagine, the IP addresses are not
distributed evenly around the world - they are assigned to individual
countries by Regional Internet Registries such as ARIN and RIPE. We take
a look at how that information breaks down per person in each country."

Paul Graham describes it as "Let the nerds keep their lunch money, and
you rule the world" principle but here is a longer version:
Why Poor Countries Are Poor
"The economist Mancur Olson proposed a working assumption that
government's motivations are darker still, and from it theorized that
stable dictatorships should be worse for economic growth than democracies,
but better than sheer instability.
Olson supposed that governments are simply bandits, people with the
biggest guns who will turn up and take everything. That's the starting
point of his analysis--a starting point you will have no trouble accepting if
you spend five minutes looking around you in Cameroon.
...
The blockades and crooked police officers comprise a particularly
visible form of corruption, but there are metaphorical roadblocks
throughout the Cameroonian economy. To set up a small business, an
entrepreneur must spend on official fees nearly as much as the average
Cameroonian makes in two years. To buy or sell property costs nearly a
fifth of the property's value. To get the courts to enforce an unpaid
invoice takes nearly two years, costs more than a third of the invoice's
value, and requires 58 separate procedures. These ridiculous regulations
are good news for the bureaucrats who enforce them. Every procedure is
an opportunity to extract a bribe. The slower the standard processes, the
greater the temptation to pay 'speed money'." |

Rather controversial article about Africa: Let Africa Sink
"In Africa, life is cheap. There are so many ways to die in Africa that death
is far more commonplace than in the West. You can die from so many
things--snakebite, insect bite, wild animal attack, disease, starvation, food
poisoning… the list goes on and on. At one time, crocodiles accounted for
more deaths in sub-Saharan Africa than gunfire, for example." |

Nourishment on a Desperate Income
"During one month, I was reduced to only spending $10.71 total on food
(I actually raised more than this through aluminum can returns), a fact that
I recorded studiously in my journal. Yet I wasn’t malnourished, I did not
resort to dumpster diving, and I didn’t actually steal anything, although I had
to ask for a few free things along the way. We’re not talking about a few
days
until the next paycheck, we’re talking about the edge of poverty. How did I
do this?" |

Reddit: Pentagon Missing 2.3 TRILLION Dollars!
"This article about the mind-boggling 2.3 trillion in missing money appeared
five years ago. I haven't heard anything about it since. Who is being held
responsible for this? Do you really think that anything will happen? No.
Government will go on wasting staggering amounts of money. The corrupt
parasites who benefit from this will continue to suck us dry." |

Tom Evslin: Should billg Stop Bullying?
"The philanthropic work that he and Melinda are doing is incredibly important
and incredibly hard. They are among very few individuals with the resources
to make substantive change in some of the world’s most hopeless places; and
they’re dedicated to doing just that.
Sympathy and good intentions and even scads of money are not enough. An
incredible tough-mindedness is needed to assure that aid isn’t just stolen or
diverted to feel-good projects which make no long term difference.
Those who think corruption needs to get its due need all the bullying billg can
bring to bear to be forced out of the way not to mention those who aren’t
willing to radically upset the stsus quo." |

The Guardian: The richer they come ...
"The charges against Berezovsky have their origins in the 90s, when a
small, well-connected group of entrepreneurs made a killing from the
privatisation of Russia's state assets. But what happened to the rest of
them? A survey of the oligarchs, as they have become known, reveals
an intriguing picture. Most of the first wave are now in prison or in exile..." |

Africans to Bono: 'For God's sake please stop!'
"For the thousands of foreign-educated lawyers, businessmen, and architects
from the Diaspora who are leaving cushy corporate jobs to return home with
their skills and their dynamism to open businesses, it's about creating wealth,
not reducing poverty. Africa is not a victim in need of saving: it's a land of
opportunity." |

'The agriculture minister, Rugare Gumbo, has blamed the food shortages on
black farmers who have taken over formerly white-owned land.

"Co-authored by the M.I.T. economist Daron Acemoglu and the Harvard
political scientist James A. Robinson, “Why Nations Fail” argues that the
key differentiator between countries is “institutions.” Nations thrive when
they develop “inclusive” political and economic institutions, and they fail
when those institutions become “extractive” and concentrate power and
opportunity in the hands of only a few." |

theAtlantic - It Is Expensive to Be Poor
"What I discovered is that in many ways, these jobs are a trap: They pay
so little that you cannot accumulate even a couple of hundred dollars to
help you make the transition to a better-paying job. They often give you
no control over your work schedule, making it impossible to arrange for
child care or take a second job. And in many of these jobs, even young
women soon begin to experience the physical deterioration—especially
knee and back problems—that can bring a painful end to their work life." |

"When your workers make shit wages and work 16 hours a day, don't

intervention not aimed at maintaining aggregate demand actually
prevents industrialists from investing (no matter what they say). This
creates a pretty intense rigidity in any country's industrial base." |

foreignpolicy.com - Abandonment has consequences
Bill Browder is the CEO of Hermitage Capital Management and the head of the
Global Campaign for Justice for Sergei Magnitsky.
"With no real laws or institutions, 22 Russian oligarchs stole 40 percent of the
country's wealth from the state. The other 150 million Russians were left in
destitution and poverty, and the average life expectancy for men dropped from
65 to 57 years. Professors had to earn a living as taxi drivers; nurses became
prostitutes. The entire fabric of Russian society broke down."
"The injustice of it all was infuriating for average Russians, and they longed
for a strongman to restore order. In 1999, they found one: Vladimir Putin.
Rather than restoring order, however, Putin replaced the 22 oligarchs with
himself alone at the top. From my own research, I estimate that in his 18
years in power he has stolen $200 billion from the Russian people." |

At the time of the leak, HSBC Switzerland was a major actor in the offshore wealth management industry. It managed US$118.4bn ? about 4% of all the foreign wealth managed by Swiss banks. This is a unique source of information through which to study tax evasion, because the leak can be seen as a random event, and it comes from a large (and, the available evidence suggests, representative) offshore bank |

"The Grenfell Tower fire was not the result of a criminal plot to burn the poor,
nor was it a freak accident. It was the logical end result of a process of deci-
sion-making driven by a particular philosophy of governance and a particular
set of economic laws. If there is no money to be made in housing the destitute
in safe buildings, and the prevailing ethos is that profit should be allowed to
determine the social good, then destitute people will be housed in unsafe
buildings." |

thestranger.com - The Way Harley-Davidson Fucked Over Its Workers Shows Why the Average Trump Voter Is a Write-Off
"What this means is that the top Western political systems in the world have in
their futures a system that has on one side anti-fascists and the other fascists.
A working-class white man or woman who continues to support a leader whose
entire goal is to weaken and break the working classes as a whole must have
accepted a working-class nativism as his or her final political solution. But why?" |

"Argentina also had a top 10 GDP in the world for much of the early to mid
20th century until the 70s. corruption, coups, and stagflation fucked them
good. My family left were well off there, but left for the US in the late 60s
when things started getting bad." |
