Most of what we call politics really revolves around the question of what you need to do to make a country richer?

The battle between books and movies
But that’s the thing, books are superior in some ways and films are superior in others, you can’t compare these two. If one picture worth 1000 words, it’s like comparing how many picture in the movie to how many word in the book. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a book enthusiast but also movie lover. […]
