House prices are too high. Rs 3500 for concrete square feet,  It is kind of scary. One slaves for his life, or cheats others to get this money, unless employed by big govt or corporations. Exceptions to the employment exists, lawyers, doctors etc could earn this much to live in those cells.

‘Greed’  has new denunciations, crusaders are American left,  included  Mr Krugman  here. Prof Arrow – One whom I looked to from distant ( among others)  when searching for an utopian scientific solution,  also writes of greed. Prof Arrow talks of some Chicago school.  Krugman might have been  too busy to clarify this much in his rants. It would explain in lot more clarity, of  they say economic assumptions of greed, or mention presumptions of Chigaco school vs Austrian School or Keynesian stuff etc etc.

  I didn’t watch NDTV recently, to find if Amartya Sen  has given new personal meaning of economic theories upon poor Indians.

[“I think there has been a general drift around the country towards the idea that greed is good”, Prof Arrow continues to deplore emphasis on popularization as a factor of deteriorating professional standards in his country- “But there is now more of an emphasis on popularization, which does improve efficiency but can also lead to an erosion of professional standards. There was this idea that professional standards were a mask for monopoly power--a Chicago theory” .

      Krugman  on the other hand is little bit of populist - “, Krugman has earned a well-deserved reputation for translating the jargon that economists speak into something that anyone with an interest--not necessarily a Ph.D.--can understand.” –says this product desc. “skilled at writing about economics for a general public”, says this. “he has probably done more than any other writer to explain economic principles to a wide audience” , says this. ]

  Money – It swirls around the devil, even deep inside modernity. A writer in Boston Globe actually writes it - “Despite millennia of folk wisdom on the topic, it wasn’t until a decade ago that researchers started to take a hard look at whether money really does have anything to do with happiness.”. It is hilarious, because  For millenniums, people have given hard look at money, and some  have occasionally chosen the hard surface on the banks of Ganga instead of banks of money. But here is an interesting, and rather disturbing quote :”It’s funny, everyone keeps saying money doesn’t make you happy, but money can change the world.  Only last week I had a discussion with my co-worker, he postulated, why certain descriptions could instead be in in terms of economic interest rather than of philosophy. Probably economy is good to change and disrupt.

When  german national socialists, and probably christian socialists  loved their great society,  they lost their discretion elsewhere, they massacred five million jews.

   Stalinist socialists – the father socialists,loved the great equitable society, they lost their descretion elsewhere,tens of millions were made starved in china,  millions were sent to gulag by Joseph stalin.

Modern anglicized Indian formed his civil and public society based on universal humanity, his power centers  ensured to remain silent on face of slaughter of uncounted number of hindus, up to 20% of the Pakisthani population. He didn’t defend one of the ancient  civilizations which he inherited, his love for western style baked chicken - Indianized with tandori, or realistically - love for a plum post  post in govt or media, earned through history and english education,   ensured that he lost  the art of balance between love and discretion.

Modern Indian, as a social reflection has lost the discretion that love is not the art of fire breathing revolutionary literature that the colonial masters taught it.

Link to a political add in USA. It was considered a celebrated cause to make millions, the american way. Smattering socialists who managed to land in USA instead of USSR or London, also agreed with the American dream. The linked add makes somebody's’ salary scandalous, the question of scandalous american dream. The cluster bomb equivalent of counter attack could be attack the party structure, the purpose based organization that has grown too powerful.

We lived in an era, augmented by the last decade, where  the right debate  replaced emerged as the top truth in a historical world. This has been so harsh in India, that one couldn’t aspire to have friends, when one  strongly disagreeing with rights stuff. in early 2000s and late 1990s, the hostile argument was for western enlightenment, one that left enough space for cultural development, but for some inherent flaws of being indian-ness  about the new ideal of rights.

Now the rights talk come to USA. A professor almost  dismisses the health care “rights” as questionable righteousness.

Of all rights noise, the “right” to vote seems the most truthful expression, Unfortunately I don’t cherish so much the right to elect a corrupted, party cadre  politician to lord over, to manage and lie to me.

Considering the bureaucrats, intellectuals, lawyers, journalists …their teritorial behaviour, socialist structure is far from utopian. They are all bound by class or grade created by the party. The Millionare and beggars are replaced by grade-A servants, and grade-D slaves. After a long time, people expect to be grade A, they secretly feel inferior  when they are not grade-A, top demagogues etc.

Funny that I write it, It sounds interesting that circles can be placed inside the lines( rectangles), the  lines could be places inside circles  ….and it could go on, like a circle. There are big big lines, there are ever present intricacies of circles….and what else I am missing in the picture ?
