피부색과 무관한 공정 사회를 향한 진 |
|
| 인종과 민족에 기반한 우대 정책이 수많은 국가에서 마련되고 있다. 이것은 과거의 부정의가 미래에 미칠 암울한 결과를 해소시키기 위해서다. 오늘날 민간 및 공공영역의 정책자는 매우 기본적인 질문을 던진다. “누가 혜택을 보고 누가 피해를 봤는가? 사회에 누적되어온 혜택과 피해는 무엇이었는가?”

The Looming Doctor S |
|
| With nearly 80 million Baby Boomers approaching retirement age, America is facing a critical crisis. There simply aren뭪 enough doctors to care for the aging population.
Currently, the U.S. produces about 25,000 doctors a year. To keep up with the demographic trends, we뭠l need between 3,000 and 10,000 more per year. Making matters worse is how long it takes to train a physician ?an entire decade ?which means that by the year 2020, the U.S. will face a shortage of as many as 200,000 doctors, according to a recent report in USA Today. |

Whether they are buying a car, choosing a cell phone plan, ordering a beverage at Starbucks, or selecting a breakfast cereal at the supermarket, Americans are finding that simple decisions have turned complicated, time-consuming, and confusing. |

Quantum Computing Ad |
|
| Many of the problems of nanotech, biotech, and anti-terrorism are so complex that today뭩 computers ?based on an architecture defined nearly 60 years ago ?can뭪 address them. However, hope is on the horizon as researchers get closer and closer to building commercially viable quantum computers. |

Inflation Remains a |
|
| Many Americans assume that inflation is rising. They fear that the recent increase in commodity prices will lead to higher finished goods producer prices and then higher consumer prices. This fear is intensified because people tend to notice when prices go up for products they buy most often.
As economist A. Gary Shilling points out in a recent commentary, such “widespread fears of inflation are understandable. Historically, inflation is a wartime phenomenon when government spending is huge, while deflation reigns in peacetime. Still, the nation suffered a uniquely long 60 years of war, which started with rearmament in the late 1930s, was followed by World War II, which promptly gave way to the Cold War that was augmented by the War on Poverty. So, most Americans have never experienced anything but inflation, which they believe is the way God made the world.” |
