Downtown Volgograd in 1996 had very little in the way of charm. Essentially destroyed in the Battle of Stalingrad a half century earlier, in the post-Stalinist era, an era of some slight optimism in the Soviet Union. The downtown had been rebuilt, but by Stalin, lacking imagination, money, or any real vision. Instead, it witnessed the construction of obligatory building after obligatory building, thrown together in the Soviet style.
Choice is at the center of our politics and of our economy. We think, in the economy, that consumers should have the right to choose, that buyers and sellers should also have that ability, that our selection or election or choosing ought to be our own, knowledgeable and uncoerced, and that it is a central role of the market to make that happen.
The leader of the free world, the United States of America, is not really facing an economic crisis as some analysts and political opponents of the Biden Administration have argued. Nine percent inflation is not good, but it is not extreme. It certainly has not reached the point that it could not be reversed. Experience has shown that the U.S economy is resilient and whatever crisis faces now it is likely to recover.
When we set out to assess the American judicial system, we typically do it piecemeal, decision by decision, aiming our focus first at individual judges, then courts, then the role of judges in our system generally.
Saudi Arabia now has a leader whose ambition to lead the kingdom and the Arab world is not predicated on a patron-client relationship with the United States.
Yair Lapid, the new provisional Israeli PM stated after President Biden left Israel for Saudi Arabia, that ”it was such an important visit, the full results of it will be known in years to come”. This was a typical pre-election statement of an inexperienced politician, but it is in line with the overall attempt by the post-Netanyahu Israeli government to portray with flying colors the relations between Israel and the Democratic administration.
