This FT article on "How China is tearing down Islam" () is one of the most dishonest pieces of "journalism" I've seen on China this year. First of all, the timing of the article is absolutely fascinating. Just when the West is facilitating yet another

I think Professor Reich is missing a trick: he should refuse to use to word 'earn' to describe the income that accrues to folks like Bezos. The correct term should be 'appropriate'. Bezos's is classic unearned income.

Jeff Bezos reportedly purchased another mansion in Miami’s “billionaire bunker” neighborhood. This time for $90 million. It sits next to two other properties he bought last year: One for $79m and another for $68m. Don't tell me the super-rich can't afford a wealth tax.
