Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler talked of selling shares in Saudi Aramco, the world’s biggest oil company, to fund a giant sovereign-wealth fund (swf), worth $2trn, to invest in diverse non-oil industries. He would be its chairman, benefactor and mastermind. It was heady stuff, even if some of it sounded unhinged in a hidebound autocracy like Saudi Arabia. The most striking thing occurred later when a palace official invited Schumpeter to a café. Young men and women sat without head coverings, flirting openly. The rule-breaking atmosphere was electric. Today, the Saudi swf, called the Public Investment Fund (pif), is becoming the goliath Prince Muhammad dreamed about. The value of its assets has ballooned to $700bn, it has over 1,400 employees and a rising gl...

Airscraper by Poland's Klaudia Gołaszewska & Marek Grodzicki Looks a lot like proposals we have seen for skyscrapers in New York City, with those big voids to make them taller. This one reminds me of Daniel Libeskind's proposal for Madison Avenue . In fact, it is a giant chimney, where polluted air is drawn in at the bottom and sucked up through filters. "It incorporates a modular kinetic façade that helps to optimize the air intake and responds to prevailing wind directions, a filtration system that collects TSP and PM10 particles and an ionization system that collects PM2.5 particles." It also has green garden modules, "incorporated in the residential section of the tower, located at 400m and above, where the layer of smog doesn’t reach.

 a realisation that the UK can no longer economically compete with top countries, military experts told Business Insider. Dr Jan Honig, a senior lecturer in war studies at King's College London said it is  "highly ironic" that Brexit could mean the UK can longer fund its defence. Julian Lewis, Chair of the UK's defence committee told BI he is now "concerned about whether Theresa May will be able to give defence the money it needs." Theresa May  this week  asked Britain's defence secretary to justify the UK's role as a "tier one" military power, causing dismay in the Ministry of Defence. Underlying the statement is a realisation that the UK can no longer economically compete with top powers, defence experts told Business Insider. "It's a reflection of our economic status - times are tough," said Tim Ripley, a defence analyst, adding: "It's all about money.. if you don't have money you can't spend it....
