barriomulas.com - Interesting Finds

Caught up on some old magazines that I had laying around. Here's some interesting finds:

Economist article on how piracy can help sales.
Wired article on a new epoch starting during the Industrial Revolution, "Anthropocene", or the epoch affected by people.
Economist article on the evolution of English spelling. I find it fascinating that French, Italian, and Spanish languages were regulated by central authorities. I wonder how much that has to say about their culture.
Economist article on Brazilian businessmen and how much they are willing to take risks. The article slightly touches the topic of the bureaucracy that plagues many Latin American countries. I insist that such cultural variations de-authorize capitalism as a potential uniform and global economic system that can operate without distinction between culture.
Time article on how the U.S. is to blame for its own oil crisis.
Time article on biology, love, and attraction. "Strippers who are ovulating average $70 in tips per hour; those who are menstruating make $35."
Time article, "Why We Flirt".
Economist article on how East German cities are coping with shrinking demographics.
Time article on how America's original suburb, Levittown, is becoming a model of environmental innovation.
Time article on Ralph Nader's goal during this election.
Economist article on man's "inner chimpanzee" and how it applies to everything from economics to law.
Economist article on posible practical reasons that sexual organ mutilation might have been adopted by some societies.
