CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCIES & PERSONAL LIBERTIES

Central bank digital currencies pose real danger to personal liberties... that allows governments to monitor every transaction you make, which basically means a surveillance state. This facilitates the creation of a social credit system that allows governments to punish those who engage in unapproved activity. The government will even know your physical whereabouts at the point of purchase. People could be denied employment opportunities, educational opportunities, and access to banking systems, even the ability to travel. China is well along the way to establishing a social credit system. Millions of Chinese have been denied the ability to travel by plane or train because their social credit scores are too low. James Rickards says that it could happen anywhere.

Byju Fiasco: A Blow To Start-Up Ecosystem

Byju's, which arose as perhaps one of the most dominant start-ups after Flipkart, is on a slippery slope. Issues like defaulting on loan settlement, handing over pink slips to thousands of employees, delayed release of FY22 financial statements, the resignation of the auditor, and, the exit of three external board members without giving specific reasons raise serious questions vis-à-vis corporate governance. And it does not augur well for the start-up ecosystem, which has thrived on easy money flowing in from foreign investors. Pathetic governance and scam will put off financiers making it all the more difficult for the honest ones to raise money.

Enhanced Surveillance Measures (ESM): A Gloomy Framework & Unfair To Micro, Small-Cap Companies

The enhanced surveillance measure for micro and small-cap companies, put in place by the market regulator and exchanges from June 5, is in fact unfairly targeting one segment of the stocks. The new measure will cover companies on the main board with market cap less than Rs 500 crore and will be effected in two stages. For both stages, the companies will be shortlisted based on variations in high and low prices, or in close-to-close prices. For stage one or ESM-I, price variations over three to six months will be considered. In stage two or ESM-II, companies already in stage one and significant price variations over five consecutive trading days or over one month will be included. The surveillance mechanism should allow for trading of stocks and what if somebody wants to sell due to various reasons. The best practice would have been that the regulators penalise only the errant players whereas this action even penalises investors.

Corporatism, An Attack On Liberalism?

Corporatism is anything but radical. The word is a perfect descriptive of the most successful form of statism of the 20th century. In the 21st century, it has been given new life and an ambition that is global in scope. Jeffrey A. Tucker feels that it is also the single most vexing problem we face today, far more of a going concern than old archetypes of socialism and capitalism. Corporatism began as a fundamental attack on what was then known as liberalism. Liberalism began centuries earlier with the end of the religious wars in Europe and the realization that permitting religious freedom was overall good for everyone. It lessens violence in society and still retains the opportunity for the vigorous practice of faith.

Loving & Convincing Difficult People

Are we supposed to simply overlook other people's faults and idiosyncrasies? Right relationships with difficult people can seem like an impossible standard to reach.

Of An Unputdownable Book

Books, like their authors, are living beings. In spite of book burnings round the globe down the history of time, we know for certain that books cannot be killed by fire. They are, true to the words of Plato, immortal sons deifying their sires.

Silence is not to be confused with being speechless. One may not speak. It does not mean one is silent.
