Benefits of fasting
Fasting. People have been doing it from the beginning of time.
Saves money, and it’s good for you.
I took to fasting when I used to live on my own.

There is scientific evidence to suggest that fasting is better for you neurologically, and physically.
Our cells are designed in such a way that, the bad cells get digested by the good after a period of fasting to make up the calorific shortfall.

The problems in liberalization of capital markets are causing instability.
China is a fine place to invest after all.
Having lived there, I know many of the problems first hand.
Confucian bureaucracy
Yes, China is a bureaucracy.
And as they say, the bureaucracy feeds the bureaucracy. Making the bureaucracy feed the capitalism may cause problems.
Not just, as the author suggests, in the logistical, functional, and organisational aspects, but also in cultural. And China has 5,000 years of culture as any Chinese man will be more than willing to tell you.
Making a cultural shift from Communist Bureaucracy to Free market capitalism takes time. Maybe a generation. Maybe longer. Continue reading “China: Wisdom and leadership with a friendly face”
