Harold Laski: Problems of Democracy, the Sovereign State, and International Society
Laski's concerns turn out to have much in common with those of present-day social democratic commentators – in particular the capacity of a state to effect social justice in conditions of global interdependence.
Peter Lamb's study of this overly neglected thinker is a highly relevant recovery.

Explaining Research – How much do drugs really cost to develop?
Although this does not seem like a fact that most people would commit to memory, somehow the average American has come to know that, not only is it insanely expensive to create a new drug and bring it to market, but it is expensive to the tune of $800 million dollars. Why is this important? It is the reason most often cited for why medications are so expensive in the United States.
So what is wrong with the figure? A number of things. First, let’s just approach the study from an economic standpoint. The actual out of pocket costs for developing a drug in the Tufts study were about $400 million, half of the final number. How did it get to $800 million then? Through a fancy piece of economic sleight of hand known as “opportunity costs of capital.”
This officer's letter is both extraordinary and common–it is extraordinary in its demonstration of integrity and common sense, and common in that we all feel this way less a few craven individuals so enamoured of power they have forgotten where they left their integrity.
