The US's fault?

According to Hillary Clinton the US is to blame for much of Mexico's violence?

Is she right? Probably so, if the US could control its demand for drugs then probably Mexican druglord would not have the power they do. Moreover, drugs being a black (i.e. illegal) market present a great price markup from the marginal cost of producing them. If they were made legal then they could be regulated and drug lord would lose their monopolic power.

Maybe drug legalization should become an issue in both Mexican and US political agendas...

Makes you kinda think

Have you ever thought how much a million bucks looks like?

Some more interesting books...

Sorry for not posting lately, but I've been pretty busy...

some books that although I've not been able to read but that sound pretty interesting are:

1. Predictably Irrational, Dan Ariely (on humans not being as rational as economic theory would predict?
2. In Pursuit of Happiness and Good Government, Charles Murray (this one's pretty old but seems really good - on how government may affect happiness, that if you've made a habit of reading this blog you may have realized is a topic that interests me very much)
3. Classical Liberalism: The Unvanquised Ideal, David Conway

I hope you enjoy them!
