While making coffee and cleaning dishes. I laughed a lot during the intro. Also, I too am a Beatles over Stones and Nirvana over Pearl Jam guy so I feel compelled to check out the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra.

It's funny because it's true could well be applied to this episode. i'd like to hear Bix Biedbecke get thrown into the orchestral mix every once in a while.

Venezuela. They were booming early in Chavez years. Then democracy broke down and their version of markets based capitalism (emphasis on their version) collapsed and poverty is rampant. Rule of law matters for capitalism to work. Ask Hannia about that example. There is a literature on this issue both in economics and political history.
