Mixed economy and democratic socialism can solve global financial crisis

He showed firmness in liberating Goa from Portugal
ASHOK B SHARMA - 2009-11-14 10:59
Today the world leaders are desperate to bail out the economy from the current financial crisis by pumping in billions of dollars. They should know that the ailing system is surviving on an artificial support. The emergence of some green shoots is bringing sigh of relief to some who speculate a recovery in the ailing system. These hopeful persons should better know that a real recovery is nowhere in sight. Even some leading experts and institutions are not sure about the nature of recovery - whether it would be a V-turn, a U-turn, a L-turn or a Z-turn

COPING WITH THE 'THREAT' FROM CHINA

NEED TO BUILD CREDIBLE INDIGENOUS DEFENCE CAPABILITY
Political Correspondent - 2009-11-14 10:11

Despite such assertions, horror stories of Chinese military build-up, border incursions and draining of Brahmaputra waters continue to pour in. The government is increasingly under pressure to build new military bases and move SU fighters to the border. Then there are suggestions like the use of 'Tibet card' and emergency defence allocations to counter the dragon.

HIGHER INFLATION HITS THE POOR
Balraj Mehta - 2009-11-14 10:07
The promises of revival of economic growth by the UPA government leadership are devoid of conviction as well as credibility. This is evident from the growing fiscal deficit and foreign debt under its dispensation. In a desperate bid it has decided to sell the shares of profit-making public sector undertakings to raise funds for providing “stimulus” to private corporations, both Indian and foreign, and open the door l wider for the multinational corporations.

Nantoo Banerjee - 2009-11-13 04:27
Telecom czar Sunil Mittal's sudden outburst against growing competition in the cellular mobile phone service business is shocking and uncalled for. It is true that Bharti's revenues and bottom line are under stress for the first time since some of its rivals, especially those which arrived late, are making more attractive tariff offers to customers to make their presence felt in the business.
