Extraordinary Popular Delusions of Our Times is a modern sequel to Charles Mackay’s 1841 literary classic 'Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.'Mackay wrote about the tulip bulb craze, the Crusades, alchemy, and witch burning. This work contains three volumes: Your Money (Financial Delusions), Your Life (Health and Wellness Delusions), and Your Soul (Cultural, Political, and Religious Delusions). People can be just as nuts today as they were in 1841.

    Because the first socialist revolution in the Americas took place in Cuba, this country has also seen the rise of new terms and the introduction of new, very specific meanings for old terms, adopted as required to express new realities. How can these neologisms be rendered in English, when no English-speaking country has as yet carried out a Marxist-Leninist social revolution a...

    Andrew Fox
    Media events have been described as broadcasts that involve an engaged audience viewing the same event simultaneously; though this definition is still relevant, the way media outlets interact with and react to their audiences has greatly changed. This is in part due to the emergence of social media platforms which allow a participatory audience, something that genre-specific te...

  • Local taxes
    Daniel Martin
    I suggest that the calculation rule that determines the amount of local taxes for private real estate and land should be based on the value of the property and not the rental value. I also believe that, whether you’re an owner-occupier or a tenant in the commune where you live, you use the infrastructure to get around and various services, and the investments to build and maint...

    Ich schlage vor, dass die Berechnungsregel, die die Höhe der lokalen Steuern für Immobilien und Grundbesitz von Privatpersonen bestimmt, auf dem Wert der Immobilie und nicht auf dem Mietwert beruht.

  • Impostos locais
    Daniel Martin
    Sugiro que a regra de cálculo que determina o montante dos impostos locais para as propriedades e terrenos privados se baseie no valor da propriedade e não no valor do aluguer. Penso também que, quer sejamos proprietários ou inquilinos no município onde vivemos, utilizamos as infra-estruturas para nos deslocarmos e vários serviços, e o investimento para as construir e manter te...

  • Calcul des impôts locaux un 'Requiem pour la valeur locative'
    Daniel Martin
    La règle de calcul qui détermine le montant des impôts locaux pour les biens immobiliers et fonciers des particuliers est très inégalement pénalisante pour les foyers fiscaux. A l’instar d’autres pays Européens, l’auteur suggère que le calcul déterminant le montant à payer pour un bien immobilier et foncier se fasse sur la valeur du bien et non la valeur locative. Il considère ...
