Nearly 80% of the developed world’s total economic engagement with the developing world is through private financial flows, including investment, philanthropy, and remittances.

The Move to Digital Payment: When the Check Is No Longer in the Mail

Digital payment shows how productivity can grow in the public sector. Making a payment digitally costs less than a paper check.

In particular, complex systems' nonlinearity and sensitivity to initial conditions seems to have subversive implications for policymaking, inasmuch as the unpredictability that they imply undercuts the very possibility of purposive more...
