BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (PNN) - December 10, 2018 - Last year, when Argentina offered a 100-year bond, I argues it was plain insanity. Argentina sold $2.75 billion of the debt, but the issue was nearly four times oversubscribed.

How could investors place so much faith in a country that spent most of its post-independence history defaulting on its debts? Plagued by a series of populist governments since the mid-20^th Century, Argentina defaulted twice in the last twenty years, and eight times since its independence in 1816.

Well guess what… it’s again crisis time in Argentina.

December 11, 2018 - If you want to understand the zeal with which social media platforms are now being censored, all you have to do is to look at what has been happening on our college campuses.

There is a national movement to combat “offensive speech”, and this movement has been working very hard to scrub campuses clean of words, ideas, and subjects that might cause discomfort or give offense. These days, just about anything that you might say or think is probably going to deeply offend someone.

December 5, 2018 - When I wrote the celebrated space pirate novel Henry Martyn, way back in 1988, I wanted it to be about an ancient star-spanning civilization, not entirely unlike our own, based on euphemism - a culture in which nobody ever said exactly what he (or she) meant. In that society, it would be considered ill-mannered - and a moral confession in a milieu where, just as a single example, arranged, profitable, and politically advantageous marriages, are forced on innocent young women in a custom known as “gavage” - the process by which geese are force-fed to render their ruined livers a gourmet delicacy.

Half of millennials have never heard of Communist Mao Zedong, who ruled China from 1949 to 1976 and was responsible for the deaths of 45 million Chinese people.
