wrong facts about acceptance of trade agreements by Europeans!!! Please make corrections after looking at the latest debates!

@Vic Farrow. The book is more interesting than the video. The part about the Chinese factory workers is well organised.

@Trevtab22 I was thinking the same thing. I think she's saying "Okay"

Some people don't know what to do when there is a pause or an end to a sentence. One of my professors would always say "right" during a pause or an sentence ending i.e. "Sociology is the scientific study right, of human social behavior, right, and its origins development, organizations, right, and institutions, right." Drove me up the wall all the time.

Anyone who's interested in the societal effects of income inequality should read this book; The Spirit Level, why more equal societies almost always do better, by Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, it's brilliant.

Nothing to do with a blinkin T-shirt,though a very engaging axiomatic expose of global markets and most importantly the "rules" that govern each market and exactly how they are formed.Very down to earth,with some honest organic conveyances,verging on "charity starts at home" thats if your not a WTO protestant...Loved the "monkeys trading" analogy LOLZ.Shots were fired at Lexington,and rocks were thrown,,O how the veneer of humanity is shown in its annoyance at our mammal selves.
