'Why should we continue these deals?': Trump is floating a radical idea on trade that an expert says 'definitely could happen'

Business Insider 

A recent report in the news website Axios detailed President Donald Trump's latest drastic flotation on trade — one that could ignite an international trade skirmish. And although one expert who spoke with Business Insider said it was clear the White House was mainly testing the waters to see what the response would be to such a proposal, the person believed "this stuff definitely could happen." Axios reported Friday that Trump and top administration officials recently discussed imposing massive tariffs on major exporters of steel. The tax would be about 20% and could be expanded to other goods such as paper, semiconductors, aluminum, and large household appliances, the report said. Axios reported ...

Japan and EU to sign free trade deal ahead of G20 summit

CNN Money 

Don't write off big free trade deals yet. Japan and Europe are preparing to sign one on Thursday. Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will meet top European Union officials in Brussels on the eve of a G20 summit of world leaders, including President Trump, in Germany. The EU said it was expecting to sign a political agreement on the trade deal at the meeting. "EU-Japan Summit on Thursday. Ambitious free and fair trade deal in the making," EU Council President Donald Tusk tweeted on Tuesday. Some details will need further work. But the deal, which has been discussed since 2011, should remove almost all customs duties on European exports to Japan. Those are currently worth as much as €1 billion ($1.1 ...

O PIB - um indicador obsoleto

The most basic and comprehensive measure of the U.S. economy is gross domestic product, or GDP. It’s a measure followed by investors, economists, and policymakers like the president of the United States.

But GDP may be failing to capture and communicate the impact of technology.

Jim McCaughan, CEO of the $425 billion asset management firm Principal Global Investors, tells Yahoo Finance that new technology has disrupted old industries and made our lives easier, but it could also be driving errors in how we measure our economy.

“[The] implementation of technology has really accelerated in recent years. You have everything from social media to WiFi to artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation. Those trends have really increased and are having a very big effect on the economy,” McCaughan says. “If you think about what they do, they tend to make things cheaper and function better.”
Technology is enabling businesses and consumers to do a lot more, which seems intuitive. However, we’re able to do a lot more but also at a lower cost. This complicates metrics like GDP because they are measured in dollars.

Constituição brasileira

Roberto Campos sobre a criação da Constituição do Brasil 
"Durante a gravidez e parto da nova Constituição, os constituintes brincaram de Deus. Concederam imortalidade aos idosos. Aboliram a pobreza por decreto. Legislaram custos, acreditando que legislavam benefícios. Tabelaram juros, esquecendo-se de que o governo é o principal demandante de crédito. Dificultaram despedidas, sem se dar conta de que assim desencorajariam novas contratações....
Tenho lido e relido o texto constituinte, um dicionário de utopias de 321 artigos. Pouco ou nada se parece com as constituições civilizadas que conheço...
Que contribuição trará a nova Constituição para inserir o Brasil nessa onda modernizante? Rigorosamente, nenhuma. O Brasil está desembarcando do mundo...."

Por Vladimir Passos de Freitas

O Conselho Federal da Ordem dos Advogados do Brasil levou ao conhecimento do Conselho Nacional de Justiça que o Brasil já conta com 1.280 Faculdades de Direito, com quase 800 mil advogados inscritos na entidade e cerca de 3 milhões não aprovados no Exame de Ordem, sendo que o restante do mundo possui em torno de 1.100 cursos.

A impressionante notícia foi levada pelo advogado Jefferson Kravchychyn, que conta no seu currículo, entre outras coisas, com as experiências de ter sido presidente da OAB de Santa Catarina, conselheiro do CNJ e conselheiro Federal da OAB...

Não raramente, o dinheiro investido pelo estudante (ou seus pais) em um curso, já que a absoluta maioria das faculdades é particular, acaba não rendendo os frutos desejados. Ao final de cinco anos, mesmo aprovados na OAB, a maioria dos profissionais contenta-se em trabalhar para um grande escritório, mediante pagamento de R$ 1.400 ou pouco mais, salário inferior ao de uma babá qualificada. Outros nem isso conseguem e direcionam-se para empregos sem nenhuma relação com os estudos universitários.

O futuro do comércio internacional

Suddenly the U.S. Is Exporting More Crude Than a Bunch of OPEC Members

Bloomberg Wed, Jun 28 

Move over, Equatorial Guinea. Slide aside, Gabon. Make room, Ecuador. There's a new major oil exporter on the world stage, and it's the United States of America. Most people know that the shale revolution has turned the U.S. into a big producer of oil, allowing it to become less reliant on imports. What's less known is how much oil it has been shipping abroad lately. U.S. exports in the first three months of 2017 exceeded those of five of the 14 members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. The OPEC estimates come from Lloyd's Apex, which supplies its data to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.  Congress outlawed most exports in 1975 in reaction to the Arab oil embargo. As ...

Four Reasons Why China's Industries Will Dominate The World By 2030

Forbes 

When it comes to industrial dominance, fortunes can change drastically. However, by observing current trends, the ability of China’s industries to soar to the top in 2030 is unmistakable. For almost three decades, China’s economy–powered by its industries–has continued to grow at an astronomical rate. Yet, in the midst of this spectacular growth, a recent slowdown has caused pundits to speculate about the chances its industries will have to continue competing on the world stage. While no one can deny that its economy has stumbled a bit in recent years, and consumption hasn’t enjoyed predictable growth during this period, the truth is that this setback will have little effect on the ability of ...

Brasil na armadilha da renda média

O período de maior aumento sustentado da renda per capita no Brasil ocorreu sob as políticas desenvolvimentistas do período militar; depois chegou a estagnação dos anos 1980 e início dos 90 (começando pelo segundo choque do petróleo, em dezembro de 1979 e crise da dívida externa, em 1982) e só voltou a crescer, impulsionados pela demanda chinesa e crescimento da economia mundial nos anos 2000, mas isso não se revelou sustentável.

Neoliberalismo

"Imagine you thought that helping the worst-off was what mattered most, but that free markets were the best way of doing it.

You might be a neoliberal: someone who thinks that lightly-regulated markets, free trade and free movement are the best way to create wealth and innovation domestically and globally, but that the state does have a role to play in redistributing some of the proceeds to the least well-off.
