Amazon Book Description:
The difference between cause and effect seems obvious and crucial in ordinary life, yet missing from modern physics. Almost a century ago, Bertrand Russell called the law of causality ‘a relic of a bygone age'. In this important collection 13 leading scholars revisit Russell's revolutionary conclusion, discussing one of the most significant and puzzling issues in contemporary thought.

Things have come to a strange state of affairs when Washington regards Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s far-right foreign minister, as the voice of moderation in the Israeli cabinet.
Cryptocurrency: In 2010 and 2011, a lot of geeks acquired something called bitcoin. It’s a novel form of currency that breaks all the rules you know and redefines currency as we know it. In 2011, this currency was worth mid-single digits per “coin”. Today, one such coin is worth upwards of a thousand US dollars, and newly-minted millionaire geeks are hungry for toys – but almost nobody’s selling.
A lot of geeks are sitting on a ton of money, and they’ve now had the value of that money appreciate enough to spend 1% of that wealth to cross off pretty much every item on their toy wishlists all at once, and pretend it’s Christmas.
The problem?
Way too few stores are selling. You have a bunch of geek multimillionaires out there who are hungry – no, famished – for toys, and all the toy stores tell them to take a hike, because they won’t accept the bitcoin worth millions and millions today.
In recent days, the media has given flashy prominence to a story about top political figures in China stashing great sums offshore — the list of culprits going back many years to Deng Hsiao-ping. We are told this is corrupt and evil, so we are to be shocked and outraged, when we are told repeatedly that ordinary Chinese workers only make $30 a month.
This is black propaganda, to balance recent news that China has now surpassed America industrially. Also, it isn’t really news.

As we pointed out in our book LORDS OF THE RIM, Chinese who had money — the rich and the middle class — have been stashing it offshore for upwards of a thousand years, to keep emperors from seizing it. So nothing's new about this recent propaganda blast, except the attempt to blacken the names of current top Chinese leaders. They, or their relatives, always stashed hoards offshore. Which is how they came to control The Philippines, Taiwan, much of Indo-China, most of Siam, and large parts of what is now Indonesia and Malaysia. From these hoards emerged today's giant companies, banks, and oligarchs of the Pacific Rim, including some of the biggest Asian multinationals.
