(Bloomberg) -- Central bank interest-rate increases have a substantial impact on innovation, which in turn can affect the productive capacity of an economy, according to a paper presented Friday at the Federal Reserve's annual economic policy symposium. Central banks around the world have raised interest rates to try and cool inflation that was in part driven by outsize demand as economies emerged from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The National Security Strategy of the United Kingdom (NSS), the British Defence White Paper, was published in March 2008. Its objective is to replace the Strategic Defence Review of 1998, now obsolete, and evaluate the factors which could present new threats to the United Kingdom, setting out the broad lines of defence policy for the years to come. A comparison between the NSS and the French Livre blanc sur la défense et la sécurité nationale of June 2008 is an interesting exercise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With a confused and ambiguous nature and aim, and lacking rigorous methodology, thinking in preparation for the White Paper on defence and national security has obscured the scope and complexity of the work required to produce a comprehensive national security policy. This would, among other things, look at the phenomena that risk fuelling national disintegration, and take advantage of the armed forces' potential for improving social and cultural cohesion. But of course to do that they need greater visibility on the national landscape. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A working paper titled "Income and Wealth Inequality in India, 1922-2023: The Rise of the Billionaire Raj" by Lucas Chancel, Thomas Piketty, and Anmol Somanchi of the World Inequality Lab analyzes income inequality in India from 1951 to 2022. The paper reveals that inequality in India has been increasing since the 1990s, with the top 1% earning 23 times the average income of an Indian in 2022-23. The number of billionaires in India has also been rising, with their total net wealth reaching 25% of India's net national income in 2022. The authors attribute the decline in inequality during India's first three decades to socialist policies pursued by the government until the 1980s. [Extracted from the article]

This article reports on an initiative that was affected by the U.S. Agriculture Department (USDA) to switch all 50 states to an electronic processing for managing the food stamp program. One USDA official described the Food Stamp Program's electronic conversion in personal terms. The U.S. Food and Nutrition Service is the federal agency responsible for the Food Stamp program. Conversion to an all-electronic system took 20 years to complete and required cooperation from banks, grocery stores, state governments, Congress, the National Association of Clearinghouse Administrators and other groups. Representatives from public interest groups and consumer organizations speak of the electronic food stamp system as a success. Although some technology groups had hoped to see smart cards play a greater role in the program's transformation, all but two states have issued magnetic-stripe debit cards to households eligible for the program. Although USDA officials are pleased that fraud has been reduced by almost half with the new electronic system, they still have some administrative concern over the program on which 24 million people depend each month. Program participants prefer the electronic system because it serves their needs better than the old system of paper coupons.
