Hacia fines de 1942, Winston Churchill, al anunciar una inusitada victoria sobre el ejército alemán, pronunció una de sus frases más memorables: “Éste no es el final. Ni siquiera es el comienzo del final. Pero quizás sea el fin del comienzo.” Lo mismo podría decirse hoy sobre la recuperación económica norteamericana. El progreso, aunque real, es incompleto.

In 2011, billionaire Peter Thiel made headlines when he announced that he would pay 20 teenagers $100,000 each to drop out or delay college and start businesses in biotechnology, finance, energy and education.
Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal, a venture capitalist and early investor in Facebook, wanted to underscore his belief that college costs too much, isn’t as intellectually rigorous as it once was, and leaves recent grads burdened with student loans that keep them from taking the entrepreneurial risks needed to spur the economy.

Thiel, co-fundador de PayPal, capitalista de riesgo e inversor temprano de Facebook, quería recalcar su creencia de que la universidad cuesta demasiado, no es intelectualmente rigurosa como lo era antes y deja a los graduados con la carga de préstamos universitarios que les impiden asumir los riesgos necesarios para activar la economía.

Book Review: "Nothing but a Circus: Misadventures Among the Powerful", by Daniel Levin
Crítica de libro: "Nothing but a Circus: Misadventures Among the Powerful", de Daniel Levin
Foreign-born residents stayed home, or took to the streets, in protest of President Trump's immigration policies.
Among President Donald Trump’s first acts was an order withdrawing from the TPP. This fulfilled Trump’s campaign promise to torpedo the high-profile agreement between the United States and 11 other Pacific Rim countries, led by Japan and Mexico. As important, it symbolized Trump’s conviction that ineptly negotiated trade agreements are at the core of America’s economy’s problems.
My students know I care deeply about them. They know I love to joke around and keep things interesting as we investigate topics they might find dry. But they also know I am waging a one-woman crusade against “fun.”
It’s not that I don’t like to have fun, it’s just that young people moving from high school to college and, ultimately, into adult life have to understand that achievement -- be it academic or career-related -- is hard work. And hard work is many things, like character-building, but rarely is it giggles-all-day fun.
Entre las primeras medidas del presidente Trump estuvo la orden de retirarse del TPP. Eso cumplía la promesa de la campaña de Trump de torpedear ese acuerdo de alto perfil entre Estados Unidos y otros 11 países de la Cuenca del Pacífico, liderados por Japón y México. Igualmente importante, simbolizó la convicción de Trump de que los acuerdos comerciales negociados con ineptitud constituyen la esencia de los problemas económicos de Estados Unidos.
Mis estudiantes saben que ellos son muy importantes para mí. Saben que me encanta hacer bromas y que intento hacer interesantes los temas áridos. Pero también saben que libro una batalla unipersonal contra lo “divertido”.
No es que no me guste divertirme, es que los jóvenes que pasan de la secundaria a la universidad y, finalmente, a la adultez, deben entender que para triunfar--ya sea en los estudios o en la carrera--hay que trabajar arduamente. Y el trabajo arduo puede ser muchas cosas, pero pocas veces provoca risas de diversión.

The US President's policies keep Mexico's automakers industry on alert, reported La Vanguardia
Spyware targeted proponents of Mexico's soda tax. There are worries the government used spy tools to fight policy changes.
You’ve heard the criticism. Too many American corporate managers are addicted to “short-termism.” They postpone investments and other costs, sacrificing future performance for present profitability. Either they’re pressured by “activist investors” or want to inflate the value of their stock options. If true, it could help explain the economy’s lackluster performance. Now, a new study asserts that it is true.
The study is intriguing -- but be skeptical; it has some glaring weaknesses.
