The world (and books): November 2013
http://carlcassegard.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
The world (and books). Tuesday, 19 November 2013. Liquidity trap or bubble - you choose! Liquidity trap as the new normal? Full employment only possible through bubbles? In his recent blog posts. Paul Krugman suggests that economic bubbles are not the problem, not the “bad excess” that need to be prevented, but the only way the economy today can be saved from plunging into a permanent state of depression. But then there are, of course, also differences. 3) He still believes in a Keynesian recipe for deal...

The world (and books): August 2014
http://carlcassegard.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
The world (and books). Monday, 18 August 2014. Is there any nostalgia in The Grand Budapest Hotel? Although skeptical at first, I was enthralled after a few minutes by the movie I was watching, Wes Anderson's. Not so much by its visual splendour - with the cake-like hotel, the mountains, the stylized miniatures and so on - but rather by. The music. The score is by Alexandre Desplat, but some of the best tunes are adaptations of Russian balalaika music (both “ Moonlight. 8221; and “ Kamarinskaya. Another ...

The world (and books): September 2014
http://carlcassegard.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
The world (and books). Saturday, 20 September 2014. Zatôichi, Yôjimbô and imaginations of power. One of the most memorable scenes of. Is Zatôichi really blind? Questions like these help build up a curiosity in the viewer that is at least as important as the mere satisfaction in seeing justice being meted out. The scene, then, is not simply there to bring closure to the film by distributing justice, but also to reveal new aspects of the story itself. This image of Japan as ruled by a power that is hidden ...

IDEA & ISAAC: Femto-Essays: Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands Dispute
http://ideaisaac.blogspot.com/2012/09/senkakudiaoyu-islands-dispute_7292.html
IDEA and ISAAC: Femto-Essays. IDEA and ISAAC are acronyms of private establishments. Femto is a combining form used in the names of units of measure that are one quadrillionth (10 to minus 15) the size of the unit denoted by the base word. For example, femto-meter (fm) is a unit of length suitable to express the size of atomic nuclei. Thus, the word femto-essays is used here for the name of very short essays. Saturday, September 15, 2012. I wrote her as follows:. Japan's stance on the islands is a blatan...

IDEA & ISAAC: Surely I'm Joking!: The Unit "Dirac"
http://ideaisaacjoking.blogspot.com/2010/01/unit-dirac.html
IDEA and ISAAC: Surely Im Joking! Collection of a physicists personal essays. As you might guess, the title comes from Richard Feynmans book, Surely Youre Joking, Mr. Feynman! Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Bout twenty years ago, I asked one of my colleagues what was the unit "Dirac" for. He, a competent physicist, thought about it for a while in earnest, and replied ashamedly that he did not know. My question was a joke borrowed from the following passage in Ref. 1:. Meant one word per year. Unit of tacit...
