"The table does not lie: we are a Bolton or a Blackburn, holding on to our place in the Premier League by our fingertips."
Very interesting article by Larry Elliott

Hy Lạp lại bị ép bán đảo
Đức hối thúc Hy Lạp bán các đảo để trả nợ
Không biết nếu dọa rút khỏi Eurozone thì có phải không bán đảo hay không?
From the Euro crisis live:
If that deal cannot be agreed, then Greece will not get its next aid tranche (Angela Merkel made that very clear on Monday). Without that money, Greece cannot repay €14bn of debt which mature in March.
The chances of Greece defaulting, in a disorderly manner, have just risen significantly.
Lagarde will be in Paris on Wednesday to meet French president Nicolas Sarkozy, amid reports that the IMF is losing patience with Athens. The Greek government is being urged to crack down on tax avoidance, sell off state assets and implement a series of economic reforms before it can receive the new rescue loan.
Greece races to tie up writedown deal before debt repayments fall due

Can 'The All American Store' Reverse Our Nation's Walmartization?
"But what about the cost?" you ask. "Isn't the whole reason American manufacturing fled to China, because it's cheaper to make stuff there?"
Again, there's an acorn of truth here, but don't go mistaking it for a full-grown forest. While "Made in the U.S.A." goods can cost more than "Made in China," the price differential is often smaller than you'd think.

Japan stands strong despite disaster year
Japan stands strong despite disaster year
From tsunami to flood in Thailand - home to many Japanese manufacturing plants, not a good year for Japan.
But “The Japanese economy is in very good shape. It’s surprising that after all the hardship, Japan’s economy is now the healthiest of the industrialized countries,” said Credit Agricole Japan’s chief economist, Takahiro Sekido.

Why Wireless Markets Are Concentrated
Why Wireless Markets Are Concentrated - interesting, shared on Viet-studies.
... benefits that flow from competition — lower prices, more choices and more innovation.
BUT
... the wireless markets in most nations are highly concentrated
WHY?
... forces that lead toward “natural monopolies,” or at least oligopolies: high fixed costs — the investment needed to build out networks — and the efficiencies that come from providing services to millions of customers.
SO WHAT?
if markets are inevitably concentrated ... The three options, Mr Noam explained, are regulation, antitrust and DOING NOTHING— betting that technological change will shake up markets.
The Justice Department is betting on options two and three.
