The citizens of Sweden are perhaps closer to completely giving up a component of their individual sovereignty than any other country on earth.  In a world where government’s abuse of power and intrusion into the personal lives of its blissfully ignorant enablers grows more disturbing by the day, at least for now, cash offers the one opportunity to transact in a truly anonymous way. That said, Swedes […]

Japan has recorded its longest run of sustained growth in more than a decade as stimulative policy and a healthier global economy lead to a period of robust progress.

The figure beat the consensus analyst forecast of 1.7 […]

In a small West Village theater last week, an audience cheered on the Wu-Tang Clan and Bill Murray as they stole a one-of-a-kind rap album from a capitalist caricature. They were watching the new musical about drug-price gouger, apparent twerp and accused fraud Martin Shkreli.

Call it the Trump fade? The so-called Trump trade captivated Wall Street after the surprise election of Donald Trump last November. After years of stagnant economic growth in the wake of the financial crisis, the prospect of Mr Trump’s pro-business agenda, combined with Republican control of both executive and legislative branches of the US government, breathed new life into the ageing equity rally, sent the dollar to […]

This week’s 20th anniversary of Amazon’s initial public offering has thrown into sharp relief the stagnation of the US public equity listings market.

We all know — or, well, we should all know — how to block malware attacks. You don’t install unknown applications. You don’t open dodgy email attachments. And you don’t download files from strange websites. But then, there’s WannaCrypt, aka WannaCry. It starts by infecting you the old-fashioned way, but once it makes it on your network, it uses an out-of-date version of Windows’ Server Message Block […]

DUBAI // The lowest ranked schools will “wither on the vine” until they raise more money for the good of their pupils, educators say.

At the same time, the Palestinian Authority president, Mahmoud Abbas, generally seen as hesitant, or even obstructionist, may to Mr. Trump seem the most accommodating.
