MWji, not sure exactly how your response addresses mine....... agree that there has been a conscious agreement between the House of Saud and Us to denominate the Saudi oil trade in USD, which may of course be a contributing factor for global USD dominance. But I would submit that this is a supportin...

As long as energy is traded in dollars, then $ dominance will not decline as fast. Sorry, don't think it has anything to do with energy.......... $$ dominance will remain as long as US remains the largest consuming market on this planet. They make it a point to pay sellers only in $, and that is wh...

The government can say all companies that have paid taxes will get pay roll loan proportionate to their tax filings. Thus incentivze (is there such a word?) companies for filing taxes and helping them proportionate to the portion that they have filed in Number 1 account ( I am not an expert in acco...

Could the government look at an interest-free 2 month payroll loan starting say April? The mechanics and benefits: Mechanics: This would be directly to individuals via their current payroll bank, and be a personal direct loan guaranteed by their employer. The loan amount would be 2 X February salary...

Excellent thread- my compliments to BRadmins for allowing this This is a golden opportunity for India – it has received a second chance to attract overseas manufacturing after having lost the first round to Vietnam, Bangladesh; and of course to China. It does require a concerted effort, which hopefu...

+100 to that........ it's almost as if we are ourselves wishing for doomsday. Its started to get a bit irritating

let's just continue to pray to our Gods and ancestors, and wish our best to Modiji, for winning this war- and cooperating in the lockdown!

Adrija

Yeah.............. Treason is unforgivable........... except if you win

Adrija

Folks, would it be worth proposing to PMO the following: "Complete 15 day curfew to ensure lockdown of the country starting (say) 1 April. Exceptions are essential supplies (home) delivery and Healthcare services. Screening of infections surfacing in that period to be informed to Toll No XXXX i...

JTull ji, I did say last post, but this level of obfuscation does deserve an answer First, please do not confuse- this is NOT about cash on the balance sheet. This is P&L- government dues on revenue share are first claim, even before employee costs, establishment costs, interest, tax (yes, tax!)...

Adrija

Sorry JTull, not sure who's exhibiting the Lahori logic here: 1. Let's not (deliberately?) confuse capital and revenues here- capital is from retained earnings, which is what remains AFTER you pay off all dues from your revenue (including government dues). And for better or for worse, the government...

Adrija

JTull, it's unfortunately not so black and white- where did the telecom companies get the original money from to invest in these towers/ office blocks if it was not telecom revenue? These telecom companies started with only one asset- the telecom license and the associated right to use the spectrum,...

TIA

Adrija

Ah, classic case of trying to obfuscate by tarring with a broad brush ("all sorts of nonsense....") let's try to be specific here: 1. "The world is getting hotter"- Short answer- WE DON"T KNOW. The world has gotten much hotter many times in the past, and there is no clear ev...

RoyG saheb, my apologies upfront, but I do feel constrained to ask if you even absorbed what Sudarshanji shared? :D You wrote "who can afford emission reduction targets...." Pray, WHY does one need to accept any emission reduction targets please? The link of CO2 to increased atmospheric te...

Rudradev garu wrote: In a nutshell: the US views China as an empire that should be dissuaded from challenging the US' own empire, and India as a nation that should be dissuaded from becoming an empire at all.

Re the gold deposit scheme- I have a slightly different view The government's thinking is essentially driven by a perception that gold "locks" up capital and hence is a drain on the economy, and hence people "should not "buy gold But gold DOES have value- if nothing then for at l...

Hinduism is also as close as it gets to an "open-source" faith. It changes the environment and is changed by it. It can be rebuilt, redesigned, repeatedly reconceptualized, reorganized, taken apart and put together again etc etc and still retain its intangible soul. Hakim sa'ab, Another d...

^^^ what about English + Sanskrit + third language, being implemented uniformly across India Let each school (rather than the state govt) make its own decision about the third language, in which case people in a non-native state (e.g., Keralites in Delhi can chose to send their children to a Malayal...

Or a better question will be - has the competitive nature of its population derived any benefit from the 'exorbitant privilege'? A follow up question (which Adrija saar can answer too)- if US population was that competitive then why is it that they are unwilling to manufacture in-house, under cutti...

Adrija

Agree with Theo_Fidel avare..........the US dominance is simply a byproduct of the fact that it is the world's single largest market both in terms of consumption and innovation.....rest is all incidental The day some other country replaces the US on those two (related) fronts will the USD be replace...

Mods, one question- how do students or generally those who are not working (e.g., retired, stay at home) become members- they do not have anything other than free email IDs

Any suggestions/ via media please?

Amit ji, a few queries if I may: 1. Why the assumption of walMart== organized retail? Where did I say that predatory pricing in Thailand and Malaysia is by Wal Mart?

^^^ Amit, why are you assuming that modernization of the retail chain is ONLY through FDI please?

Oh, recommend it highly! For a few reasons: 1. It's generally a very well written book........she had spent two odd years in the early 70s in Benares to write it 2.
