Economics: Advent of the Generic CEO
“Financialization”, a process characterized by stakeholders in a business activity mixing up the metric of success (money) with metrics of performance (operational standards), has manifested some bizarre outcomes over the last few decades.

Space-Based Solar Done Right

T’Challa: “Teacher, there are so many instruments to pick from, which one is the best?”Mrs. Ngudu: “Which is the best? You are the best instrument, T’Challa. All the music comes from you! Do […]
