Becker and Banner. Yesterday, I talked to Nobel Laureate Gary Becker before he gave a luncheon speech. He made a very interesting point about discrimination, showing that countries with a high degree of economic freedom and globalisation tend to have less discrimination. In such societies, employers simply have to value people from how productive they are - nothing else.

And for something rather different, but this time related in its content: advertising. Above is the first advertiesement on this web page. There have been discussions before, but now I decided to start. The Swedish Tax Payers Association has the first advertisement, which directs people to their new campaign site.
