I was starving all the time. I lived in one room, had one futon and had a three inch screen on the floor next to the futon. But the TV didn't work because you needed cable and I couldn't afford that.

So I started a business. Many people think, "I have an idea" and then they want to raise $10,000,000 or something outrageous.

At 70% of GDP, public debt is worryingly large for a middle-income country and rising fast. Because of high interest rates, the cost of servicing it is a crushing 7% of GDP. The Central Bank cannot easily use monetary policy to fight inflation, currently 10.5%, as higher rates risk destabilising the public finances even more by adding to the interest bill. Brazil therefore has... Читать дальше...

This year is already shaping up to be a great year for television, and it's only been a week.

It started strong with the return of ABC's "American Crime," a surprisingly good TV entry by Jennifer Lopez on NBC's "Shades of Blue," and the fantasy series "Shannara Chronicles" from, of all places, MTV.
