		<description><![CDATA[Any article on being well-rounded that has “shit” somewhere in the first paragraph has to be somewhat different, and possibly good.  As this is a Half-Assed guide, it’s full of shortcuts and easy ways to become cultured, or at least, seem more cultured than you really are.

		<description><![CDATA[In this, our final lesson (or rather mini-series) in this Econ series, we will examine the rise and collapse of economics itself as first a part of the Humanities, and then as a science.  We will not go back into antiquity, which held some theories on trade, but rather we will focus on the past 500 years, with various schools of thought in chronological order.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Africa is boned.  It always has been boned.  It probably always will be boned.  White-Man’s-Burden isn’t the answer (nor is its effeminate bastard-child--White-Guilt--the answer.)  Money isn’t the answer.  No, what the answer is, is good examples of human decency, and to encourage the same behavior among small groups of people there.  Pay it forward, as it were.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By raising and lowering the rate of interest, the Fed effectively controls how much money exists in the U.S.  That is because our money is not printed (some of it is, but only a fraction of the actual money supply exists in a physical form.)   The rest of the money exists as numbers in computers.  It exists because of the “money multiplier” effect.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We in the West have spent the past two centuries benefiting from [Miss Market's] many skills – she in her innovative, brilliant, economic-freedom-loving glory has given us everything from Air Conditioning to Zouave rifles.  Unfortunately, we have become a society of narcissists from the top down, and when you pair an otherwise independent woman with a narcissistic control freak, one of two things happen: she is broken, or she gets revenge.
