Like the stewards of a rich man, they are apt to consider attention to small matters as not for their master’s honour, and very easily give themselves a dispensation from having it. Negligence and profusion, therefore, must always prevail, more or less, in the management of the affairs of such a company.<br/> — Adam Smith (1776)”<br/><br/> - <em>Theory of the Firm: Managerial Behavior, Agency Costs and Ownership Structure | Michael C.

And one highly effective way of doing<br/> this is by setting up more charter schools—publicly funded but independently run and<br/> union-free. The performance of the Success Charter Network speaks for itself. In New<br/> York City’s public schools, 60 percent of third, fourth, and fifth graders passed their math<br/> exams last year. The figure at Harlem Success was 94 percent. The American Dream is about social mobility, not enforced equality. It’s about<br/> competition, not public monopoly. It’s also about philanthropy, not confiscatory taxation.<br/> I’ll cheer up even more when I hear those words at a Republican presidential debate.

With his current low standing in polls, he did not meet the threshold of support to qualify.</p> <p>Asked whether he would commit to not run as a third-party candidate should he fail to get the GOP nomination, Huntsman reiterated one of his favorite lines, usually used as a crack toward other candidates: “I don’t need to take pledges of any kind, particularly when I’m going to win as the Republican,” he said.</p> <p>But when pressed by the questioner on how such a move could doom the GOP’s chance of taking the White House, Huntsman quipped that the only solution is to pick “the most electable candidate” in the first place.</p> <p>It wasn’t the only sass Huntsman offered at the event.</p> <p>“I am in this race because I fundamentally feel the American people are getting screwed,” he said within minutes of taking the floor at the Londonderry High School.</p> <p>Later, he hit opponent Mitt Romney and former potential opponent Donald Trump in one fell swoop: “I’m not going to pander, I’m not going to sign those silly pledges that everybody else on the debate stage signs, and I’m not going to show up to one of those Donald Trump debates, that’s for sure,” he said, referring to a forum on Dec. 27 that will be moderated by the real estate mogul.</p> <p>Huntsman told reporters on his way out that the rest of his night’s plans wouldn’t likely include watching the debate, which at that time was scheduled to begin in 20 minutes.</p> <p>“Well what time is it on?” he asked. “I can’t make any promises; it depends on if ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ is on at the same time. If it is, then I don’t think I’ll get around to it.”</p> <p><em>Photo Credit: (AP Photo)</em></p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.jon2012.com" target="_blank">www.jon2012.com</a></p> <p>J N O M I C S</p>http://www.jnomics.com/post/14115835790http://www.jnomics.com/post/14115835790Mon, 12 Dec 2011 08:34:48 -0500HUNSTMANPOLITICSGOP2012ELECTIONSDEBATEECONOMICS<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw3c3u8jsm1qbk1f5o2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw3c3u8jsm1qbk1f5o1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw3c3u8jsm1qbk1f5o3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw3c3u8jsm1qbk1f5o4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>The early life of several, disruptive, market leaders (via <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/12/11/old-web-design/#381091-Google" target="_blank">Mashable</a>).</p> <p>J N O M I C S</p>http://www.jnomics.com/post/14114613398http://www.jnomics.com/post/14114613398Mon, 12 Dec 2011 07:34:00 -0500BUSINESSTECHNOLOGYSOCIAL MEDIAMARKETSDESIGNMEDIACULTURE<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw2i41ghOo1qbk1f5o1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw2i41ghOo1qbk1f5o2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw2i41ghOo1qbk1f5o3_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw2i41ghOo1qbk1f5o4_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw2i41ghOo1qbk1f5o5_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>Interactive Mapping of the United States Economics From the <a href="http://www.ft.com/intl/cms/s/0/e4583b3a-21df-11e1-8b93-00144feabdc0.html#axzz1gFeFsyMY" target="_blank">Financial Times</a></p> <p>J N O M I C S</p>http://www.jnomics.com/post/14101671624http://www.jnomics.com/post/14101671624Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:41:00 -0500ECONOMICSFINANCIAL TIMESCHARTSUSAPOLITICS<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw2i9kQYKu1qbk1f5o1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lw2i9kQYKu1qbk1f5o3_400.png"/><br/> <br/><p>Economics Advent Calendar: Day 11</p> <p><a href="http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/06/military-spending" target="_blank">Biggest Spenders on Military</a></p> <p>J N O M C S</p>http://www.jnomics.com/post/14095678529http://www.jnomics.com/post/14095678529Sun, 11 Dec 2011 20:47:06 -0500ECONOMICSCHARTSHOLIDAYSCHRISTMASMILITARYWARCULTURE
