As countries move from extreme poverty to middle-income status, this move from starvation rations
to calorie-rich, nutrition-poor diets has become more common. In Egypt, 12% of children are stunted
and have obese mothers.

But the discovery of a dead family of three―an elderly man crippled by a bad back, his wife,
and their 39-year-old son―has again drawn attention to its existence. Their emaciated bodies
had lain in their home for weeks.With only single-yen coins left, they had been unable to
pay for heating, and may have died of hypothermia.

For those at ease with the unbroken convention of male, family-minded prime ministers, the advent
of a single, childless woman leader grated. Others have never forgiven her for the coup in which

If early retirement really improves living standards, why stop at 60? Why not 55? If governments moved
the retirement age down to 40 every young person would have a job and everyone would be living in the lap of luxury.
Alas, the land of the lotus-eaters remains a myth. Get back to the office.

SHORT-SELLERS perform a valuable function in financial markets, exposing managerial incompetence,
corporate fraud or plain overvaluation. Their reward, all too often, is calumny. Witness regulators’
rush to ban shorting in 2008 in response to sustained political attacks on the practice.

Mr Chey has had previous scrapes, having been convicted of a billion-dollar accounting fraud in 2003.

AFTER the 2008 financial crisis many governments did a sort of “automotive easing”, subsidising motorists

There were practical considerations, too. For affluent families the sudden arrival of a bastard child could
wreak havoc with rules of inheritance. The illegitimate children of the poor were resented as burdens on

When and why did things start to change? The latter half of the 17th century saw the start of a backlash

For some, the controversy illustrates an American-influenced coarsening of Canadian politics. But on this
no party has a monopoly. Mr Harper this week reminded the Liberals that one of their research assistants was

the minister of public safety.

AN UNTESTED youngster, keen to assert his leadership ahead of the April 15th centenary of the birth of his

On February 29th it announced at the same time as the American government that it had agreed to freeze nuclear

For Russia’s rulers, corruption is not a happy side-effect of power, but the core of the system. A small group of
people wholly above the law has, in the past decade, become rich beyond the wildest dreams of the tsars.
Mr Putin’s return to power would protect these ill-gotten gains. Reform would put them at risk.

The famine that struck in the 1990s has never fully gone away. The ruling elite is scandalously indifferent to the

Mr Dubois upbraids rival accounts of Haitian history for their lack of “complex interpretations”. Yet his own

This first indictment of a Swiss bank has rocked the country’s financial industry. Konrad Hummler,
Wegelin’s boss, had bluntly defended the right of banks to shield clients from their governments’
tax regimes; he once dismissed critics as “tax cartels” and “illegitimate states”.
Now even humble pie may not save his bank from a criminal conviction in America.
