The document discusses key economic dynamics affecting corporate success in a globalized world. It notes that since the late 18th century, international economic bonds have strengthened through increased global trade, capital flows, and investment opportunities. This has opened new markets for corporations in places like Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Asia. However, weaknesses in the US economy like a lack of competitiveness and protectionism have eroded its technological advantage relative to countries like Germany and Japan that maintain close industry-government cooperation. Macroeconomic indicators in the US like GDP, inflation, unemployment, and interest rates have also been negatively impacted by the global economic crisis. For companies to succeed in this environment requires prudence, expanding operations to benefit from economies of scale
Over the last year or so, there has been much talk about another impending recession and how it could impact channel management. The recession theory is based upon historical trends, which suggest business cycles tend to last around five to seven years each. That means every five to seven years we experience some sort of a recession. Eventually the economy recovers, and then something else happens to triggers another recession.

Covid19 Pandemic: Looming Global Recession and Impact on BangladeshMd. Tanzirul Amin
The following article was written by me, and was published in the Economic Trends section of the Keystone Quarterly Review (Volume-30) on July 30, 2020: https://lnkd.in/g9nGxzn
The article covers the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic in the world economics, and the resulting impacts on the Bangladeshi economy. Various other economic aspects are covered, along with the alarming signs/symptoms of another "Great Global Recession".
IN THIS SUMMARY
Within the past 10 years, China has evolved from a third world country into one of the most economically powerful countries in the world, second only to the United States. With China’s government-backed development of industry and excellent trade balance, they are on the path to passing the U.S. and becoming the most powerful nation on earth. The United States’ continuous outsourcing of jobs, weakening industries, and consumer focused culture are crippling the country economically and increasing the need for imports from China, further boosting Chinese industry. In Chinamerica, Handel Jones outlines what China is doing to further itself as an economic powerhouse, and what America can do to further its economic future while maintaining positive trade balances.

Article: The Criminality of Wall Street
Tabb, William K. Monthly Review66.4 (Sep 2014): 13-22.
The current stage of capitalism is characterized by the increased power of finance capital. How to understand the economics of this shift and its political implications is now central for both the left and the larger society. There can be little doubt that a signature development of our time is the growth of finance and monopoly power.1
In 1980 the nominal value of global financial assets almost equaled global GDP. In 2005 they were more than three times global GDP.2 The nominal value of foreign exchange trading increased from eleven times the value of global trade in 1980 to seventy-three times in 2009.3 Of course it is not certain what this increase means, since such nominal values can fluctuate widely, as we saw in the Great Financial Crisis. They cannot be compared directly and without all sorts of qualifications to the value added in the real economy. But they do give an impressionistic sense of the enormous magnitude by which finance grew and came to dominate the economy. Between 1980 and 2007, derivative contracts of all kinds expanded from $1 trillion globally to $600 trillion.4 Hedge funds and private equity groups, special investment vehicles, and mega-bank holding companies changed the face of Western capitalism. They also brought on the collapse from which we still suffer. Ordinary people may not be acquainted with the numbers (and even those best informed are not sure of their significance), but people generally understand in different and often deep ways what has been happening: namely, an ongoing process of financialization that has come to dwarf production.
What is particularly important is that despite the huge bubble created by this metastasizing growth of finance, the economy did not expand as rapidly as it had in the postwar years, before the goods producing industries lost ground in terms of employment to other sectors of the economy, and when government spending was used actively to promote growth. While the nature of much of the growth that occurred then is certainly open to criticism from all sorts of standpoints, at the time there was widespread understanding in policy circles that government spending was.

Growth.
ver the past 35 years, the economy has been transformed by technological
change. The computing revolution and the rise of the Internet have changed
the nature of product competition, reduced communication costs dramatically, and
allowed the digitization and codification of processes. These changes have affected
the returns to different types of labor, the role of labor itself, and the nature of
bargaining between workers and companies.

Accompanying this technological change and augmented by it, globalization has
proceeded apace. Capital mobility across borders has continued to increase, both in
terms of portfolio investments that cross borders and in terms of the reach of
multinational corporations. International trade in goods and services has continued
to expand, fueled by decreases in information costs, technological changes, and
greater policy openness to trade in many countries. Migration, while more limited by
national barriers, has also had an important impact in many places over this time
period.
Over this period of technological change and globalization, the role of labor and
capital has also changed in important ways throughout the global economy. A
generation ago, students of economics were often taught that the labor share and
capital share of all income generated in the economy should be expected to be
roughly constant over long periods of time, with about 70 percent of national income
accruing to labo ...
Corporate and shareholder sentiment towards MA has rebounded since the dark days of 2008. Low borrowing costs have coaxed many new buyers, including acquisitive Chinese conglomerates, into the market. The prices of prized assets have risen accordingly. It remains a sellers market in technology-driven deals, particularly in the consumer-goods, financial services, and media and telecommunications sectors.

The U.S. balance of payments: wide-
spread misconceptions and exaggerated
worries
• The U.S. balance of payments is by far the most confusing and least
understood area of the U.S. economy. The confusion is centered around the
large and rapidly growing deficits. Indeed, the deficit on the current account of
the balance of payments rose to new records, both in absolute and relative
terms.
• These developments created worries and fears regarding the sustainability of
the external deficits. However, closer examination of the issue shows that the
worries and fears are exaggerated and, most importantly, there are no short-
and medium-term solutions because of a number of structural reasons.

Economics 3
The U.S. balance of payments is by far the most confusing and least
understood area of the U.S. economy. The confusion is centered
around the large and rapidly growing deficits. Indeed, the deficit on
the current account of the balance of payments rose from USD 474
billion in 2002 to USD 531 billion in 2003 and is estimated to reach
over USD 600 billion in 2004 (see table 1). In relative terms, the
deficits amount to 4.5%, 4.9% and 5.3% of GDP, respectively, in
those years. Both in absolute and relative terms, these are all-time
records.
The sustainability of external deficits
Persistent and rising external deficits have attracted increasing at-
tention of politicians, economists and the media. Needless to say,
the deficits are generally viewed as highly negative for the U.S.
economy and U.S. financial conditions. The main points of concern
are:
• Rising foreign indebtedness that might create financial difficulties
over time.
• A potential massive dollar depreciation needed to rectify the
situation.
• In an extreme case, a financial crisis as foreigners refuse to fi-
nance U.S. deficits and switch their capital to other places.
The media, regardless of their political outlook, have been
commenting on the U.S. external deficits for quite some time,
spreading fear and predicting all sorts of calamities, which
apparently sells newspapers well. About five years ago, in the fall of
1999, The New York Times ran an article with a pointed headline:
“The United States sets a record for living beyond its means;” and a
Barron’s article talked about a current account crisis and a ticking
time bomb.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
