It is said that one should discipline the child until he outgrows the bed’s width. If he fits the width, that’s it – too late to change. However, it is also said that junior and high school play a considerable role in forming one’s personality, his or hers relationship with the outside world and its rules of behavior.

In 2010, organizations across the G20 countries began an ambitious process to further the global cause of entrepreneurship. I have been fortunate enough to be part of this process from its earliest stages and have seen how the different approaches to entrepreneurship illustrate the significant cultural and social differences between countries. These differences, in turn, offer a unique perspective on the root causes of the Greek economic crisis.

The publication of the book Landmarks in 1909 was one of the great scandals of Russian intellectual history. Written in the aftermath of the failure of the 1905 revolution, it was a collection of seven essays accusing the Russian intelligentsia of a misplaced enthusiasm for revolution, and a tendency to fanaticism.

In early September 2010, the ancient Russian city of Yaroslavl hosted the Global Political Forum “The Modern State: Standards of Democracy and Criteria of Efficiency”. Events such as these always attract high profile speakers to address the participants; on this occasion, it was the President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev. When opening the plenary session, he greeted all participants, expressed his gratitude, thanked them repeatedly and quite graciously emphasized that all this had not been merely good manners.

The world economy is undergoing profound change, which has the potential to result in a shift to a new economic paradigm of less or zero growth, as it is becoming increasingly clear that natural and environmental resources are finite even on the global scale. At the same time, the continued flow of cheap resources from Russia and some other countries of the former Soviet block is called into question, because the lifespan of infrastructure and industrial capacity built in the Soviet time is nearing its end.
