Since it takes about 700 calories’ worth of animal feed to produce
a 100-calorie piece of beef, this change in diet increases the overall demand
for grains.

Incentive effects of religion. Could it be that power promises to sort things out, and state religion is hoped to be an insurance policy for power when they don't turn out?

Wired 2.03: The Economy of Ideas
If our property can be infinitely reproduced and instantaneously distributed all over the planet without cost, without our knowledge, without its even leaving our possession, how can we protect it? How are we going to get paid for the work we do with our minds? And, if we can't get paid, what will assure the continued creation and distribution of such work?

Policy must also chart a stable long-term course, which implies the need to reconsider the paradigm of the past 25 years.

FT.com / Comment & analysis / Editorial comment - Help! The credit crunch is finished
As 2008 begins, banks are again lending to each other at almost normal rates, and pressure on the money markets is much reduced. Yet all is not well. The ground may have stopped shaking – for now – but the aftershocks of the earthquake have revealed that thousands of financial structures were fragile and poorly-built.

FT.com / Columnists / Wolfgang Munchau - This is not merely a subprime crisis
A CDS crisis, under a pessimistic scenario, could produce a global financial meltdown. This is not a prediction of what will happen, merely a contingent scenario. But it is contingent on an event – a nasty and long recession – that is not entirely improbable.
