Medicare's ACO Regs Recall MAD's Squamish Rulebook After sitting through a 90-minute webinar by a Washington law firm on Medicare’s new draft regulations for Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), I realized why they sounded familiar. In their complexity and utter failure to accomplish their purpose – give doctors and hospitals a clear financial incentive to reorganize care delivery to measurably improve quality and lower cost – the draft ACO regs reminded me of the planned futility of a squamish team. 彼らはおなじみの響きなぜアカウンタブルケア団体（ACO）のためのメディケアの新ドラフト規制、ワシントンの法律事務所で90分のオンラインセミナーを介して座って後、私は気づいた
Bumpy road ahead for auto firms Automobile sales slowed for the third consecutive month this year in June as inflationary pressures continued to weigh heavily on new purchases, analysts said on Monday.

Effort Fails To Strip Actual Injury Requirement From 'Failure To Warn' Drug Liability Common sense and the principles of tort law in the American civil justice system are not always synonymous. One would think, for instance, that plaintiffs would always have to show that they suffered an actual injury, and that a defendant’s specific conduct, or product, caused that injury. That is generally the case in tort law, but because some court have embraced such novel claims as “medical monitoring” or have accepted “fear of injury” as sufficient to sue, plaintiffs’ lawyers will continue to push the proverbial envelope, especially in areas such as product liability. Judges’ desire to redistribute wealth or make their mark on a prominent area of law can be powerful incentives to throw common sense, and established principles, out the window. 常識とアメリカの市民の司法制度における不法行為法の原則は、常に同義ではありません

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's future | Dean Baker If the US government continues to underwrite the mortgage market, then the one thing it should not do is pad banks' profitsThe administration took its first step toward resolving the final status of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac with a big conference at the White House last week. In keeping with its housing policy to date, it seems intent on taking the worst possible course. These mortgage giants have played an important role in making housing more affordable in the United States. Fannie Mae created the secondary market in mortgages when it was established as a government-owned company during the New Deal. Its willingness to buy mortgages from banks essentially created the basis for the 30-year fixed rate mortgage that is the standard today. The virtue of the original Fannie Mae was that it was simple and cheap. It bought and held 30-year mortgages. It did not securitise them. This avoided the costs and risks associated with securitisation. At every step in the securitisation process, the financial industry expects to make money, and often lots of it, since salaries are so bloated. In addition to saving these costs, a public Fannie also had no incentive to engage in risky gambles to inflate profits. Its senior management was paid civil servant wages, not the tens of millions that go each year to top Wall Street executives.Holding the mortgage on its books meant that Fannie Mae, and therefore the government, was bearing the interest rate risk associated with the mortgage, in addition to the risk that the mortgage would go bad. Interest rate risk is the risk that interest rates will rise. If the standard interest rate for a 30-year mortgage rises from 5.0% to 6.0%, then a newly issued 30-year mortgage will lose more than 12% of its value.

Why pharma's patents are a drug on the market | Dean Baker Senator Bernie Sanders proposes a major reform of the way we pay for prescription drugs and fund research. He's patently rightDrugs are cheap. There are few drugs that would sell for more than $5-$10 a prescription in a free market. However, many drugs in the United States sell for hundreds of dollars per prescription and, sometimes, several thousand dollars per prescription. There is a simple reason for this fact: government-granted patent monopolies.The government gives patent monopolies to provide an incentive for drug companies to carry through research. This is an incredibly backward and inefficient way to pay for research. It leaves us paying huge amounts of money for cheap drugs. It also often leads to bad medicine. We can do better – and Senator Bernie Sanders has proposed a way. He has introduced a bill to create a prize fund that would buy up patents, so that drugs could then be sold at a free market price. Sanders's bill would appropriate 0.55% of GDP (about $80bn a year, with the economy's current size) for buying up patents, which would then be placed in the public domain so that any manufacturer could use them at no cost.This money would come from a tax on public and private insurers. The savings from lower-cost drugs would immediately repay more than 100% of the tax. The country is projected to spend almost $300bn a year on prescription drugs this year. Prices would fall to roughly one-tenth this amount in the absence of patent monopolies, leading to savings of more than $250bn. The savings on lower drug prices should easily exceed the size of the tax, leaving a substantial net reduction in costs to the government and private insurers.The Sanders prize fund bill would go far towards eliminating the problems that pervade the drug industry. First, it would バーニーサンダース上院議員は、我々は、処方薬、ファンドの研究のためのお支払い方法の主要な改革を提案している

Wind direction unchanged by US trade victory over China | Jonathan Watts Beijing ends subsidies for domestic turbine makers but Washington must be more proactive on renewables if it really wants to protect American jobsThe United States claimed victory this week in a trade dispute with China over wind industry subsidies, but its manufacturers' and unions' celebrations will be short-lived unless Washington matches Beijing's commitment to renewable energy.The Chinese government has been providing incentives – allegedly ranging from $6.7 million and $22.5 million - to domestic manufacturers that agree to purchase China-made components rather than imports. US unions have long argued this is an unfair advantage that costs America jobs. They claimed success on Tuesday when the US trade representative Ron Kirk said China has agreed to halt the subsidies.At first sight, this is a triumph for free market principles and a levelling of the playing field – no bad things for the development of a healthy global renewable industry.But viewed more broadly, it reflects how China has pushed the US onto the defensive by moving faster and investing more to help the fledgling wind industry compete not just against foreign firms, but – more importantly - against fossil fuels.The results of strong state support have been spectacular. Turbines are rising up at the rate of more than one an hour in China – particularly along the old Silk Road through the northern provinces of Hebei, Gansu, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. In the past year, China has overtaken the US and Germany to lead the world in installed wind power generating capacity. Though a third of its turbines are not yet connected to the grid, the growth is projected to continue long into the future. By 2020, China plans to expand almost four-fold from the current 42 megawatts.

What is the emissions trading scheme and does it work? This question and answer is part of the Guardian's ultimate climate change FAQ• See all questions and answers• Read about the projectThe European Union's Emissions Trading System (ETS) is the world's biggest scheme for trading greenhouse gas emissions allowances. Launched in 2005, it covers some 11,000 power stations and industrial plants in 30 countries, whose carbon emissions make up almost 50% of Europe's total. A cap on the total emissions allowed within the scheme is set, and allowances adding up to the cap are provided to the companies regulated by the scheme. The companies are required to measure and report their carbon emissions and to hand in one allowance for each tonne they release. Companies can trade their allowances, providing an incentive for them to reduce their emissions.The current cap is set to fall by 1.74% annually to achieve a target of reducing emissions in 2020 to 21% below their level in 2005. In June 2011 the price of an allowance was around €16. The trade in permits is worth around $150bn annually, dwarfing other emissions trading schemes (the Clean Development Mechanism market established by the UN is valued at $1.5bn annually).In a basic sense the ETS has worked. It has set a cap on half of Europe's carbon emissions, which were previously unregulated, and the companies covered by the scheme are no longer free to pollute. Carbon has a price and this influences the economics of burning fossil fuels.For example, burning coal creates more carbon pollution than burning gas, so coal plant operators need more permits. The higher the price of the permits, the more expensive it is to use coal rather than gas. Power companies choosing how to generate electricity therefore have an extra cost associated with the more polluting options, so they'll choose この質問と回答はガーディアンの最終的な気候変動のよくある質問•の一部すべての質問と•は、取引システム（ETS）は取引温室効果ガスの排出枠のための世界最大のスキームですprojectThe欧州連合の排出量についての記事を読むの回答を参照してくださいです
Letters: Budget 2010: cider, potholes and bombs Alistair Darling could be commended for trying to bring the duty on cider more in line with beer (Budget 2010, 25 March). In fact the duty on a strong still cider will still be a lot less than a regular strength beer after the increase. At present, duty rates are cider up to 7.5% abv £31.83 and a 4% beer £65.88 per hectolitre. However, he could have used some of the revenue to support small traditional cider-makers by increasing the turnover threshold that is required to start paying duty (at present 70 hectolitres).If he thinks that this increase will help prevent binge drinking he is sadly mistaken, because the price incentive between buying a large brand cider – better described as alcoholic fruit juice – in a supermarket and getting tanked up in advance will now be even more marked than buying the same product later in a pub or club.Steve DowningOrganiser, Liverpool Beer & Cider Festival• Here we are again, a new budget and a new increase in alcohol duty. Instead of acting as a deterrent for binge drinkers, it is putting more pressure on independent businesses already suffering due to the recession. And supermarkets will still be able to offer cheap wine.Conscientious wine drinkers will be penalised, possibly making some of them switch to a less costly wine, compromising on quality. The alcohol duty floods our glasses with cheap, poor quality wine, and drinks in general, that fuel the binge-drinking culture.

What Cancún can take from California | Stuart Eizenstat and Jeffrey Horowitz California's climate law which gives carbon credit to developing countries to conserve rainforest is a win-win the world can copyAs negotiators huddle in Cancún to try to eke out some progress on a global climate agreement, they would do well to look north to California for an example of how to achieve real progress while maintaining strong political support.In November, California voters resoundingly defeated well-funded attempts to roll back the state's climate law. There were many good reasons for this victory: first among them were a desire to protect the planet and a strongly-held belief that a modern, green economy is California's ticket to a prosperous, competitive future. But this stunning triumph also came about because the law's architects went out of their way to make sure that their plan was cost-effective. As environmentally-conscious as Californians may be, it was clear that an unduly costly approach would test that commitment, especially in the face of a slow economy and serious budget concerns.California's emphasis on cost-effectiveness and innovation is one that Cancún climate summit negotiators must take to heart if they are to achieve a breakthrough of any kind.

US 'begins talks' with the Taliban A report claims that the Obama administration has launched exploratory contacts with senior leaders of the Afghan insurgencyThe Afghan conflict has not lacked peace initiatives in the past few years. There have been at least a dozen back-channel contacts with the Taliban brokered by a mix of governments, institutions or individuals. But until now, it has been a cottage industry, producing reports but no tangible gains. Many of those involved in these encounters predicted that there would be no way of knowing whether the Taliban leadership was interested in making a deal until Washington decided to engage with it directly. That now appears to have happened. A report by Steve Coll in the current edition of the New Yorker reports that: The Obama Administration has entered into direct, secret talks with senior Afghan Taliban leaders, several people briefed about the talks told me last week. The discussions are continuing; they are of an exploratory nature and do not yet amount to a peace negotiation.There are few details. We do not learn which Taliban figures are taking part, though Mullah Omar is apparently not involved. Nor is it clear whether the contacts are being orchestrated on the US side by the state department or the White House. Coll gives credit for inspiring them to Richard Holbrooke, the US envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan who died in December.According to European diplomats, Barack Obama has told his national security staff that 2011 should be the year in which the political track towards a resolution takes precedence over the military approach. The US-Taliban contacts, if confirmed, signal that Washington is no longer content to leave the pace of political progress to the Afghan government that has little incentive in a settlement that would almost certa オバマ政権は、アフガニスタンinsurgencyTheアフガン紛争の上級指導者との予備的接触を開始したことを報告の主張は、過去数年間の平和の取り組みを欠いていない

Economic impacts of biodiversity loss: case studies From forests in Japan to sea turtles in Tanzania to Scottish school dinners, the evidence of the global biodiversity crisis is evident• The economic case for saving biodiversityForests, JapanConcerned about widespread abandonment and degradation of forests in Japan, the national Science Council carried out a study of the benefits of taking action to save them. Their report put the total value of the ability to absorb carbon dioxide; use of wood instead of fossil fuels; reduction of erosion and flooding; regulation of and cleaner rivers, and health and recreation, at ¥70 trillion (£535bn) every year. This evidence was used in many prefectures to introduce a new annual tax of ¥500-1,000 a person and ¥10,000-80000 for businesses specifically to fund restoration and enhancement.Mineral waters, FranceSo contaminated was the land around Vittel's natural mineral water source in the Vosges mountains of eastern France, the Nestlé brand was forced to consider moving to a new location. Instead, they paid farmers to solve the problem for them. For payments of €150,000 (£130,000) to cover new equipment and another €200 per hectare of land each year, farmers agree to stop using agrochemcials, compost animal waste and reduce stocking rates for two to three decades. From 1993 to 2000 the total cost to Vittel for the 5,100 hectare area was €17m - a fraction of the company's mineral multi-billion Euro mineral water sales.Sea turtles, TanzaniaNumbers of sea turtles on Tanzania's Mafia Island have surged since local people began to be paid to stop eating them.

The Looming Failure of Obamacare, Part 3: Rent-Seeking Over the past two weeks, I discussed information and incentives issues inherent in Obamacare. The law requires that the judgement of a few bureaucrats in Washington be substituted for the individual decision-making of hundreds of millions of Americans. This is an impossible task, no matter how smart or well-motivated our rules claim to be, because every individual has his or her own unique incentives, information, and preferences in making price-value trade-offs for care. この2週間で、私は情報とインセンティブの問題Obamacareに固有の説明

Ivory coast: War of attrition | Editorial There is much that can be done, short of military intervention, to make life difficult for Mr GbagboAfrica has so far stood firm in face of the crisis created in the Ivory Coast by the refusal of the incumbent president Laurent Gbagbo to stand down. No one bought the line that there were flaws in an election which the president clearly lost. Nor do they think they are part of a Franco-American conspiracy to install his rival Alassane Ouattara. Nor, with five other elections in the offing in the region, is there an appetite for the sort of power-sharing deals that defused similar crises in Kenya or Zimbabwe.The reluctance to initiate the use of force is understandable. Nigeria, the largest military power, has similar divides between north and south, Muslim and Christian. It holds the rotating presidency of Ecowas, the Economic Community of West African States, which has threatened to intervene if diplomacy fails. But the Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has little incentive to wage a war in a year when he himself faces an election.West African interventions have been successful in Sierra Leone and Liberia, but only when supported by outside forces. In this case the helping hand would be French: there are already 900 French soldiers at the airport. But as a former colonial power, their use in combat would be politically unacceptable. That leaves diplomatic pressure and the mission that Kenyan Prime Minister Raila Odinga mounted in Abidjan yesterday. There is much that can be done, short of military intervention, to make life difficult for the Sorbonne-educated Mr Gbagbo. A travel ban has been imposed and the World Bank and the West African Central Bank have frozen his funds, which will complicate the task of paying soldiers and loyalists. 軍事介入の氏GbagboAfricaの生活が困難になると短いので、あまり行われることがあるはずですまで下がって立っている現職の大統領ローランGbagboの拒否でコートジボワールで作成した危機に直面して会社を立っていた
Amid doubts of Afghan withdrawal date, U.S. Senator sticks to plan A U.S. Senator on Friday said sticking to the July 2011 deadline for U.S. troop withdrawal is crucial to U.S. efforts to hand over security duties to Afghan forces - one of Washington's major goals for embattled Afghanistan.

Iran's reactor and the US response | Michael Tomasky There's been a lot of talk around Washington this week involving Iran, Israel and the new nuclear power facility Iran is about to put on line. According to John Bolton, Israel now has, what, three days left to strike the facility, after which it will be too late. Bolton is also no doubt busy writing his speech for the big 9-11 Stop the Islamization of America rally, which will also feature that man of peace Geert Wilders.At any rate, it seems fairly clear that Israel is not going to bomb Iran this weekend. I think. So Iran will have a nuclear power facility - overseen by Russia, open to international inspections, whatever assurances those two factors provide.I should say here that I don't like the idea of a nuclear Iran (not in the sense of power plants, but in the warhead sense) any more than Bolton does. But what can we do about it? Marc Ambinder of the Atlantic describes the problems well:Meanwhile, what (and who) would the targets of a U.S. strike be? And why should we suppose that Iran -- now seen as irrational and millennialist -- would suddenly become rational and incentive-oriented after an attack? The only thing that might work to stop such a putatively irrational regime is a massive decapitation campaign involving special forces insertions; thousands of missiles; hundreds of U.S. war planes, equipped with next-generation jamming technology; a major campaign to own the airspace; denying Iran the sea (because they'd immediately try to shut down the Gulf); the transfer of thousands of troops from South Korea and Afghanistan -- and more. A few F-22 passes and a B-2 sortie aren't going to do the job.That sounds a lot like full-blown war. And what happens in Afghanistan, and on the Korean peninsula, if thousands of troops are transferred away from there? These are t この1週間、イラン、イスラエル、新たな原子力発電施設、イランを含むワシントンの周りの話をたくさんされている情報の行に入れることです

Somali pirates and the morality of ransoms | Andrew Brown The ransom paid to free Paul and Rachel Chandler has been widely criticised. But paying for hostages has a long historyRansoming prisoners – a practice in the news now because of Paul and Rachel Chandler – has been so common in so many societies that it is odd that we now regard it as immoral. The payment of ransoms was central to medieval warfare: when King Henry V ordered a massacre of his prisoners at the battle of Agincourt in 1415, one objection was that it impoverished everyone who had hoped to profit by the prisoners he had taken. Yet by 1500 the practice seems to have died out in European warfare. It lingered in the Mediterranean, where the ransoming of galley slaves continued for as long as maritime power depended on them. Even after that, Muslim pirates raided widely along the European coasts, as far north as Iceland. More than a million slaves were taken in this way between 1530 and 1780. All of them might be ransomed if they did not convert to Islam, and many were. That is the origin of the Roman Catholic redemptorist orders. The nearest large-scale modern equivalent was the practice of the West German government, before the fall of communism, of buying out from Eastern Europe and from Russia (though not, of course, from East Germany) ethnic Germans who were entitled under the constitution to citizenship. Romania, for example, charged between 5,000 and 8,000DM for every ethnic German allowed to emigrate between 1978 and 1989.The ransoming of slaves and prisoners of war can be distinguished from straightforward kidnapping for ransom, which seems always and everywhere to have been despised. But was it necessarily immoral? The modern objection is that ransoming prisoners is wrong because it provides incentives to the kidnappers. This has been raised against gov 身代金は無料でポールに支払われたレイチェルチャンドラーは広く批判されている
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto venture is just too much for regulators BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto's plans for a joint iron-ore venture have been rejected not only by Australia but also by the European commission, Japan, South Korea and GermanyBHP Billiton and Rio Tinto spend hundreds of millions of pounds every year on exploration and their probes sometimes find nothing worth mining. So perhaps the waste of management time involved in trying unsuccessfully to persuade regulators to clear a joint venture in iron ore in Western Australia can be dismissed with a shrug of the shoulders. After all, the Pilbara adventure, if it had been accepted, would have yielded joint annual savings of $10bn (£6.3bn) – a prize so large that even a slim chance of success might justify a pursuit.That breezy view, however, doesn't fit with the facts. Last June, when the joint venture was announced, BHP and Rio fully expected to win and to secure their $10bn.The structure of the venture was crafted to address regulatory concerns that emerged a year earlier when BHP was plotting a full takeover of its rival. The pair would pool their production assets but run separate sales and marketing operations to ensure competition. It was claimed the customers – the steelmakers – should celebrate the creation of a production powerhouse that could accelerate output of iron ore and deliver lower prices.That argument has now been roundly rejected. The fight wasn't even close. According to today's's statements, the European commission, Australia, Japan, South Korea and Germany objected to the joint venture. That's a long list.What happened? Well, it is true that iron-ore prices have soared since June last year. But rising prices alone should not have been a deal-killer. On the BHP and Rio view of the world, higher prices create an even greater incentive to boost output.

Michael Tomasky: Kagan and the problems of meritocracy David Brooks writes on Elena Kagan today, and it's rather devastating. Not in an ideological, fodder-for-the-right kind of way, but about the system and process and to some extent about her:What we have is a person whose career has dovetailed with the incentives presented by the confirmation system, a system that punishes creativity and rewards caginess. Arguments are already being made for and against her nomination, but most of this is speculation because she has been too careful to let her actual positions leak out.There's about to be a backlash against the Ivy League lock on the court. I have to confess my first impression of Kagan is a lot like my first impression of many Organization Kids. She seems to be smart, impressive and honest — and in her willingness to suppress so much of her mind for the sake of her career, kind of disturbing.I think we have here in Kagan an extreme case from which we should be careful to make general statements. As Brooks notes elsewhere, she apparently knew from the time she was quite young that she wanted to be a judge, and comported herself accordingly, never saying anything remotely controversial or, probably, interesting.Maybe this confluence of facts - a ridiculous process that everyone knows is ridiculous, brought to its logical endpoint of ridiculousness by the presence of a nominee who has been planning for this moment for decades by saying as little as she could - will result in this being the last time we go through this charade in just this way. Yglesias wants to address this by giving Scotus appointees fixed (and lengthy) terms, rather than lifetime appointments. I'd go for that, although the political system we have today doesn't have the capacity to agree on that kind of change.By the way, little known fact: there is noth デビッドブルックス氏はエレナカガン今日書いて、それはむしろ壊滅的だ

A radical plan to save antibiotics Drug resistance is fast destroying the power of antibiotics. Tighter infection control and incentives for drug companies to invent more antibiotics are usually proposed as the answer. But the authors of a new paper say we have to think out of the box.What are we to do about the diminishing power of antibiotics - once the miracle drugs that looked set to end infectious diseases? We know the problem is becoming very serious - here is a piece I wrote about the alarming prospects for a future without antibiotics.But we don't hear much in the way of imaginative answers. So it's refreshing to read a paper out this morning from Aaron Kesselheim, from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, and Kevin Outterson, a professor at Boston University Law School.Their analysis, published in the journal Health Affairs, says the usual idea, to give pharmaceutical companies financial incentives to invent and manufacture more antibiotics, won't work. One of the reasons we are in this parlous state of affairs, they say, is that drug companies in the past have tried too hard to sell more tablets. Of course, the misuse of the drugs - physicians over-prescribing and patients not completing the course - is largely to blame, but companies have been disciplined for promoting wrong uses of antibiotics. They cite two cases involving Pfizer. In one of those, in 2005, the company, they say, was warned by the Food and Drug Administrationthat its 'misleading promotion' of linezolid (Zyvox) as a treatment for a wide range of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections 'poses serious public health and safety concerns because of its potential to result in inappropriate use'. The FDA concluded that the clinical trial data did not support linezolid's use for thos 薬剤耐性は、高速抗生物質の力を破壊している
'Blood diamonds': Flawed regulator must end half-measures The Kimberley Process will only survive if governments and industry stand up for the principles on which it was builtThe Kimberley Process certification scheme is often credited with ending the trade in conflict diamonds. As the blood spilled in Zimbabwe's diamond fields shows, the truth is more complex.The KP set out to ensure that the kind of diamond-fuelled conflict and abuse exposed by Global Witness and others in countries such as Angola, Sierra Leone and Liberia could never happen again. The technical aspects of the scheme are implemented by governments, while NGOs and the diamond industry act as observers.Essentially an import-export control system for rough diamonds, the KP provides a strong economic incentive for countries to join, since members can only trade with each other. To participate, governments must pass national laws and agree to meet the KP's minimum standards to guarantee that their diamond exports are conflict-free.There have been successes: in some African countries the scheme has brought more transparency and increased official diamond revenues for governments. But recent crises have exposed shortfalls.In Zimbabwe the abuses are by a member government, as opposed to a rebel group. This highlights a fundamental flaw in the process: the KP's reliance on consensus among members has allowed regional allies to veto tough decisions on Zimbabwe, which remains a member despite the state-sponsored murder of hundreds of diamond diggers.The most recent agreement allows Zimbabwe a one-off limited export of diamonds from Marange. All further exports are conditional on Zimbabwe demilitarising diamond mining, cracking down on smuggling and ending human rights abuses in Marange.The KP's half-measures and compromises in the face of one of the most egregious case 政府や業界はそれを元にbuiltTheキンバリープロセスの認証スキームされた原則のために立ち上がる場合はキンバリープロセスは多くの紛争ダイヤモンドの取引を終了とクレジットされて存続します

Don't raise hopes for Afghan peace jirga | Wazhma Frogh A national reintegration plan ignores the fact much of the violence is caused by an exported insurgency from PakistanAfghanistan is preparing for a consultative peace jirga through which it aspires to build national consensus on the political approach to the insurgency, and create a roadmap towards ending the perpetual violence in the country. The government has indicated that during the jirga it will open its reintegration and reconciliation plan for debate. A version of this plan was first presented at the London conference on Afghanistan in January, where the initiative received financial and political support.Traditionally, jirgas have been a mechanism for resolving communal and tribal conflicts in many parts of Afghanistan, as well as at the national level. Jirgas have been useful in solving disputes and averting further deterioration or perpetration of violence. Their decisions are often binding and forced, and resolutions arrived at through jirgas do not necessarily pass tests of justice or fairness. Furthermore, jirga representatives are often notables and local power-holders who may see it fit to impose their own will on the public, rather than represent the public's desires.We may be tempted to hope that the coming jirga might put an end to the continuing violence. However, as the new developments unfold around the reintegration and reconciliation plan, including the latest on offering exile to the Taliban commanders, the hope gets murkier.We hear various arguments against the reintegration plan. One of its only known components is the provision of incentives for the insurgents to renounce violence. Many claim that it's an unsustainable strategy and will further antagonise the majority youth who are feeling deprived of the development and security initiatives 国家社会復帰計画は多くの暴力のPakistanAfghanistanからエクスポートされた武装勢力によるを通じてそれが暴動に政治的アプローチに国民的なコンセンサスを構築することを目指して協議平和ジルガを準備して引き起こされる、という事実を無視して、終結に向けてのロードマップを作成する永久国での暴力
Chinese GDP: what the experts say The news that Chinese GDP grew by 11.9% year on year in the first three months of 2010 has raised fears that the country could be overheating. Some economists, though, believe that while interest rates may rise this year, China is still in a strong position.Mark Williams, senior china economist at Capital EconomicsAt first glance, today's GDP data might suggest that China is overheating. However, the acceleration in year-on-year growth in Q1 was entirely due to weakness a year ago. Growth has continued to slow in year-on-year terms and the economy is now expanding at what is, for China, an unremarkable pace. Price pressures too seem to be easing. While we expect policy tightening over the coming quarter, there is no need for dramatic measures.In the long-run, China would be better served by structurally higher interest rates – they are currently far too low for moderate rate adjustments to make any difference to loan demand. This means that the People's Bank has an incentive to raise them (we forecast two 27bp hikes to the benchmark 12m lending rate this year with the first move in May) with little reason to fear that doing so would endanger the recovery. Limited rate hikes may also be desirable to keep inflation expectations in check – the State Council statement said it thought expectations were still rising.Similarly, the weakness of price pressures means there is no pressing economic reason to allow the renminbi to move higher. However, economic rebalancing would in the long run be better served by having a stronger currency; loosening of the renminbi's dollar peg would also help manage relationships with major trading partners.In sum, we think that both interest rate and currency policy will shift over the next quarter. However, policymakers' focus will be on the m ニュースは、中国のGDPは11.9％で前年2010年の最初の3ヶ月に生えていた不安を、国が過熱する可能性が提起しています
Fears grow over global drug resistance Too little attention has been paid to the dangers that drugs will become resistant to diseases in the developing world, report warns.Unprecedented efforts are being made to get medicines to people in poor countries to treat killer diseases such as Aids, tuberculosis and malaria. But too little attention is being paid to the real danger that these drugs will run out of impact. A report today from the Center for Global Development in Washington says we need to wake up - there are measures that can be taken to stop drug resistance building.It's always been a scourge of Europe and the USA. Penicillin long ago stopped being the miracle cure it once appeared to be. Bacteria and viruses are smart organisms that will mutate, given the slightest weakness in the drugs being used against them - which is why it is vital that we finish a course of antibiotics.But when drugs are precious, money is short and diseases all too often kill, as in the developing world, a failure to guard against drug resistance has powerful potential consequences. We have had MDR TB (multidrug-resistant tuberculosis) for some years. More recently came the first reports of XDR TB, extremely drug resistant tuberculosis, in South Africa. The drugs to treat it would not have been affordable even if they had been available.Nancy Birdsall, president of CGD, put it this way:Drug resistance is a serious problem that doesn't get serious attention. It is hard to see that people are dying from drug resistance - but they are. We know what actions are needed to fix the problem. We just lack the incentives, institutions and global leadership to get on with it.The report has recommendations for a range of bodies: for instance, drug companies must help ensure their products are safe and effective even after they are sold, 少なすぎる注意薬は病気に耐性発展途上国でとなる危険性、warns.Unprecedented努力を報告する貧しい国の人々にエイズ、結核、マラリアなどのキラーの病気を治療する薬を得るために行われている支払われている
Dim sums for China | Richard Adams China's economy is booming and its property prices are going through the roof. What could possibly go wrong?What Gordon Brown and Barack Obama wouldn't give to have a piece of the action that China's economy is enjoying: the latest quarterly figures show a spectacular 11.9% expansion in its GDP, retail sales up 17.9% in March from the year before, industrial production expanded by 18% and consumer price inflation running at just 2.4%. Global economic crisis, what global economic crisis?But here's another statistic: China's urban property price index rose by an extraordinary 11.7% in March, its fastest increase in five years. Property investment was up 35% annually, making it easily the biggest contributor to those spectacular economic growth figures. As has been pointed out, this leap comes after concerted efforts by the government to cool down the housing market by restricting lending. It doesn't seem to be working. Talk about a Chinese property bubble will only get more credible – and China's authorities seem nervous, having just this week announced new measures to curb speculative buying by raising the minimum down-payment for purchases of second homes from 40% to 50%.The fear is that we've seen this movie before and we know how it ends: strong growth, export bonanza, low exchange or interest rates, a property bubble ... what could possibly go wrong? If you think things are different this time, then I have some condos in Florida, a bank in Iceland and a hotel in Dubai that might interest you for investment purposes. Unfortunately, because local and central government in China benefits so directly from property deals, there's a very strong incentive for them to keep the bubble expanding – which is exactly what has happened.But that's for the longer run.

Gordon Brown | Markets need morals Without values to guide them, free markets can reduce all relationships to transactions, all motivations to self-interestThe public outcry that followed the two major crises of the past year was driven by moral outrage. The anger was not primarily provoked by breaches of the law; instead it was in response to the violation of an unwritten ethical code that should guide us in our daily lives. The demand now is that both the global financial system and the domestic political system should be brought into closer alignment with the values held by most people across the country.People seek the return of those enduring virtues – accountability, responsibility and fairness – as we rebuild faith in banks and politics. These values must infuse our response. Only by restoring ethical standards to both the City and parliament can we advance the common good. So in the post-crisis era the most powerful determinant of change is not the incentives of the market or the commands of the state but the values of people found in their best instincts.I have long been fascinated by Adam Smith, who came from my home town of Kirkcaldy, precisely because he recognised that the invisible hand of the market had to be accompanied by the helping hand of society. He argued that the flourishing of moral sentiments comes before – and is the foundation of – the wealth of nations. In other words, markets need morals.As we have discovered to our cost, without values to guide them, free markets reduce all relationships to transactions, all motivations to self-interest. So, unbridled and untrammelled, they become the enemy of the good society. The truth is that the virtues that make society flourish – hard work, taking responsibility, being honest, enterprising and fair – come not from market forces but fro せずに値を導くには、自由な市場取引に、すべての関係を減らすことができる、自己へのすべての動機interestThe世間の激しい非難には、過去1年間の2つの主要な危機の道徳的な怒りによって駆動された後

The time to talk to the Taliban is now | Ahmed Rashid The US wants to see the surge bear fruit before negotiations begin. They may be unwise to waitIn the lead-up to this week's international conference in London, remarks by the commander of US and Nato forces in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, and the US defence secretary, Robert Gates, have given a boost to those who would like to see the Taliban engaged in a political settlement. The prevailing view in Washington is that many Taliban fighters can be won over, but that the current US troop surge has to roll them back first, reversing Taliban successes and gaining control over the population centres and major roads. According to the American strategy, the US military has to weaken the Taliban before negotiating with them.General McChrystal has both a special fund of $1.5bn to provide incentives and other forms of support for Taliban fighters who put down their arms, and a group of British and American officers who are drawing up plans to win over Taliban commanders and fighters as the troop surge tilts the battlefield back in favour of the US. General McChrystal told me in Islamabad in early January that he is confident that many Taliban will be won over in the field. This US reconciliation effort would be led by President Karzai, who for several years has called for talks with Taliban leaders.There is another way of looking at the crisis. Despite their successes, the Taliban are probably now near the height of their power. They do not control major population centres – nor can they, given Nato's military strength and air power. There are no countrywide, populist insurrections against Nato forces as there were against the coalition forces in Iraq.
