From Library Journal
Becker, Beijing Bureau Chief for the South China Morning Post, sees the 1958-62 famine, even more than the Cultural Revolution that followed it, as China's greatest trauma of the century. Population statistics made public since 1979 reveal that at least 30 million people starved to death in the wake of Mao's Great Leap Forward. Although Becker concedes that the American press (especially Joseph Alsop) reported the famine with accuracy, he notes that other Western "foreign experts" who admired Mao, such as Edgar Snow, Rewi Alley, and Anna Louise Strong, remained silent or played down its severity. The tragedy could have been averted, Becker concludes, after the first year if Mao's senior advisers had dared to confront him. Unlike such academic works as Dali L. Yang's Calamity and Reform in China (Stanford Univ., 1996), this work presupposes little knowledge of communism and China; Becker's strength is his anecdotal, journalistic style. This is fascinating journalism, but the definitive study has yet to be written.?Jack Shreve, Allegany Community Coll., Cumberland, Md.

From Booklist
Many claim that death has resulted from every attempt to communize agriculture and perhaps on the largest scale during China's disastrous "Great Leap Forward." But no one knows how many starved to death there in the years 1958^-62--demographers place the lower limit at 30 million. The Communist government seemingly concealed the catastrophe from the outside world, abetted by the few Western visitors to the country (such as France's Mitterand), who declared there was no famine. Becker, a veteran East Asia correspondent for British publications, reconstructs the terrible event using interviews of survivors, whose ordeal he details in graphic chapters, describing hunger and cannibalism. According to Becker, unlike most famines in Chinese history, Mao's political famine beset the entire country, which induced opposition to the leader's fanaticism from more realistic leaders such as Liu Shao-ch'i and Teng Hsiao-p'ing, with whom Mao later settled scores in the Cultural Revolution. A subject still officially muted in China, the famine as Becker has investigated it becomes a less obscure chapter in the country's Communist history. Gilbert Taylor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Kirkus Reviews
The first serious attempt to unearth the truth of the massive human tragedy behind the ``Great Leap Forward'' in China between 1958 and 1961. Becker, Beijing bureau chief for the South China Morning Post, conducted hundreds of interviews in his effort to understand what happened. It is an extraordinary story, in which the errors that led Stalin to devastate agriculture in the Soviet Union, killing 11 million peasants, were duplicated in China by Mao, at the cost of another 30 million lives. Mao believed that wheat could be planted so close together that you could sit on it, furrows could be plowed 10 feet deep, and gigantic dams and canals built without expert advice. The plants died, the dams filled up with silt, and the canals were useless, but Mao was told that the national grain harvest had gone from 185 to 430 million tons. The officials now began to seize grain based on the inflated claims. When the minister of defense, Peng Dehuai, questioned the figures, he was put under house arrest and a campaign of terror instituted. The result, Becker notes, was bizarre because most of the party leadership knew the truth but couldn't acknowledge the widespread starvation until Mao did so. By the end of 1960 Mao's colleagues realized that the regime was in danger of collapse. Becker believes that the Cultural Revolution, launched by Mao in 1966, may well have been directed at undermining those who had striven to restore sanity. One of the most tragic aspects of this story is the role played by respected Western observers including Edgar Snow, Gunnar Myrdal, and Franois Mitterand. In ridiculing reports that China was suffering from famine, they may well have cost millions of lives. They also created a myth of what China had achieved, the consequences of which are still being felt in places like Cambodia, Ethiopia, and Tanzania a generation later. A remarkable book, the more devastating for its quietness and absence of rhetoric. (16 pages b&w photos, not seen) -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Happy new year, everyone!
Sorry for the lack of posts last month. To make up for it, here are five posts so you can catch up to my 2013 and to get you going this 2014.
- 2013 in Movies (Silly Edition)
- Top50 Songs of 2013 [Xiami sorta complete Playlist]
- The Indian Movie Journey – Phase I
- Indian Cinema Success
- Diez Peliculas del 2013 [spanish only] [google translate]
I was finally doing some room cleaning, and ran into this plastic bag that had a whole bunch of the tickets of movies I caught while living/staying in Van. The results? Of course, I spent over two hours trying to make out some of the fade tickets, arranged them and put them in order of attendance.
The first movie that I caught there was Hulk at what used to be Tinseltown Cinemark. The first two columns cover my first year of studies. My maximum number of movies a month was 9 flicks in January 2004 (Cold Mountain, Big Fish, Peter Pan, 21 Grams, Along Came Polly, Monster, Butterfly Effect, The Cooler and Ginger Snaps 2), April 2004 (Hellboy, The Delicate Art of Parking, Kill Bill, Connie and Carla, Home on the Range, The Punisher, Dogville (twice) and Man on Fire), followed by July 2006 (Devil Wears Prada, The Omen,The Lake House, The King, PotC 2, Lady in the Water, Strangers with Candy, and an unidentified movie that's already faded) with 8 flicks.
I've got some pretty nice recommendations to share.
Couldn't resist to use this image as the main film here xD
Can't help myself, and I haven't even seen The Tourist. Look, I love movie stars… I'm sure I'm going to go "oh, it isn't THAT bad" but I can even say when things should be awarded or not. xD But then again… ratings~
I'm just glad Timberlake wasn't nominated in anything.
And since we're speaking about out of their league: Lea Michelle for Glee is completely out of her league in her category against Toni Collette, Edie Falco, Tina Fey and Laura Linney. Look, I love Glee – don't really watch 30 Rock, didn't warm up to Laura Linney in The Big C, don't like Edie Falco's Nurse Jackie character, didn't completely loved Season 2 of United States of Tara – but Lea Michelle is out of her league. xD
Because the list is oh so long, just posting film…

(CBS) - Teen drivers distracted by passengers' loud talking and fooling around are more likely to be involved in serious incidents than those distracted by technology such as cell phones, according to a new study.
"Forty-three states currently restrict newly licensed drivers from having more than one young passenger in their vehicle," Robert Foss, senior research scientist at the University of North Carolina's Highway Safety Research Center, said in a university news release.
"The results of this study illustrate the importance of such restrictions, which increase the safety of drivers, their passengers and others on the road by reducing the potential chaos that novice drivers experience," added Foss, also director of the Center for the Study of Young Drivers.
He and a colleague mounted cameras in the vehicles of 52 teens and recorded their driving habits and behaviors for more than six months. The teens were monitored when they had parents and other teens in the car, and when they were alone.
The young drivers were less likely to use cell phones and other technology -- including in-vehicle systems such as sound systems and temperature control -- when they had passengers with them.
The risk of a serious incident -- such as having to take evasive action to avoid a crash -- was six times higher when the teen drivers had passengers who were talking loudly and three times higher when passengers were horsing around.
The researchers also found that driver actions, such as texting, using a cell phone, eating and reaching for things, appeared less likely to cause a serious incident than passengers' behavior, according to the study published online April 17 in the Journal of Adolescent Health.
"This is why the limit of one teen passenger is important when teens are just learning to drive," Foss said.

The Digital Skeptic: Olympics Shines Light On Google's Doom
No gold for Google
The thing is, the more I lived without Google at the games, the more I realized I could live without Google not at the games. Sure, from time to time there are things for which I needed Google, Yahoo! (YHOO) or DuckDuckGo. But we all have our news feeds, sports feeds and trusted brands for shopping. And who needs help finding Wikipedia?
And I'm not the only one noticing Google is not as critical as it once was. Operating and net margins have been falling for several quarters. And the company is beginning to whisper that it cannot win on all fronts like it did back in the day. In a blog post called Giving you a better Google, managers said they were cutting back on about 50 products.
"To make a difference," the post said, "we need to carefully consider what to focus on, and make hard decisions about what we won't pursue,"
Compare such sobering words to the nothing-but-winning Olympics. Rugby and golf will be added to the 2016 games. Tiger Woods playing for gold will do nothing but turbo-charge that tired sport. And the list of organized leagues that can gain from some five-ring love is staggering: karate, sport climbing and, most tantalizing of all, auto racing.Think what General Motors (GM) would pay to be part of a gold medal won in a Chevy Malibu. The Web is a game for losers
What the flame of the London 2012 Olympics illuminates for us is there is not much business sport in the basic organs of the Web. The secret to turning lots of small things into a big digital thing is just this simple -- and difficult: Invest in one-of-kind of content, strictly limit who has access to it, present it in a clear and organized way and market the heck out of it to get everyone to pay for it. Then stand back and let reality do the work. Hoping to cut a corner on this process is a race for fools where nobody gets gold.

Linnaeaus Capital Partners has sold a 48% stake in AquaBounty Technologies — the US company that is hoping to commercialise its genetically modified salmon — to a US biotechnology company, Intrexon.
Under the deal Intrexon will acquire 48.6 million shares from Linnaeus and Linnaeus' aquaculture subsidiary Tethys Ocean for $6 million in cash.
Intrexon will now be required to make a tender offer for the remaining shares in AquaBounty.
"The company is in discussion with Intrexon about the next steps and shareholders can expect to receive a circular from the Board with its recommended course of action," AquaBounty, which is listed on the London AIM exchange, said in a statement.
The tender will be priced at the same fee at which it bought the 48% stake, i.e. at $0.123 per share.
"This represents a premium of approximately 49% to the mid-market closing price of AquaBounty's common stock on the date immediately preceding this announcement," Intrexon said in a statement on Nov. 1.
As part of the deal Linnaeus' founder, the biologist and former Georgian economics minister Kakha Bendukidze, will resign from AquaBounty's board of directors.
Three other directors nominated by Linnaeus will also resign their seats.
Intrexon's president of animal science, Thomas Kasser, said the acquisition would accelerate Intrexon's efforts "to play a leading role in solving the world's emerging food shortages through biotechnology."
"AquaBounty's pioneering work in genetically modified fish is an initial step toward creating a large-scale, efficient and environmentally safe and sustainable global aquaculture market," Kasser said.
"We look forward to working with the AquaBounty team to improve aquaculture productivity and expand the reach of their molecular modification technology."

Oct. 20 (Bloomberg) -- Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said his government is trying to negotiate "leniency" on potential penalties that U.S. citizens living in Canada may be asked to pay for not filing tax returns in the U.S.
Flaherty, speaking to lawmakers in Ottawa, said he is seeing some "progress" on the issue with U.S. officials.
Dual citizens must file annual U.S. tax returns and complete a separate yearly IRS filing if they have Canadian or other non-U.S. financial accounts of more than $10,000, under Internal Revenue Service rules.

Shane Watson might be considering his future in Test cricket but Australian skipper Michael Clarke is still hopeful of his deputy coming back into the side for the fourth Test against India. Watson, who was sacked with three others from the Mohali Test, returned home on Tuesday to be with his pregnant wife and made it clear he was hurt after being sacked for not turning in a presentation on time. Coach Mickey Arthur and Clarke decided Watson, Mitchell Johnson, James Pattinson and Usman Khawaja should be left out of the side for the third Test against India. With Australia trailing 0-2, they would miss the services of the experienced all-rounder and Pattinson, who has so far been their best seamer on tour. The Mohali strip is likely to assist some good pace and carry and these are conditions the Australians would have cherished but the Aussie skipper has been steadfast in his decision. But he revealed he was hoping for Watson's return to the team before the Delhi Test, the last of the series. "I think Watto has made it clear to everybody that that's something he's thinking about while he's home," Clarke said. "From my point of view he's vice-captain of this team and he's a big part of this team, there's no doubt about that. From the conversation Watto and I have had, 100% he has gone home for the birth of his first child, which is very exciting for him. I know he's really excited about that. "Hopefully all goes to plan there, Lee has the baby in the next few days and Watto is back here playing the fourth Test as our vice-captain. That's the best-case scenario from my point of view and from the team's point of view. The rest is really up to Shane." The suspension has triggered a huge debate in Australian cricket with former players lambasting the management over a rather harsh decision. However, the media have hailed both coach and skipper for attempting to discipline the team, which has had a torrid time in India. Performance manager Pat Howard then added fuel to fire by suggesting that Watson was not a team player and he had had his rifts with Clarke. Watson retaliated by saying Howard did not know him well enough and that there were no problems between him and his captain. However, Clarke, with characteristic wisdom, chose to play down the boiling controversy, refusing to be dragged into a debate that seems to be getting uglier by the day. "I'm not going to get into that," Clarke said. "I don't think it's fair to Watto and I don't think it's fair to Pat that I get involved in that. Watto has been around for a long time. Pat has been around sport for a very long time. I know those two will be in communication. For me the focus is this team and trying to have success in these two Test matches. "I think the most important thing is that this group looks forward. The decision has been made. The players have accepted and respect the decision that has been made, and now we're trying to do what the most important thing is and have success in this Test match. I think it would be very stupid of me to look backwards. I don't think right now, a day out before the Test, I can afford to do that. "Watto made it clear yesterday that me and him have known each other for such a long period of time. The players respect the position I'm in as captain and that this decision isn't personal. We made the decision irrelevant to the four players' names. It was because we thought it was best for the team that we made that decision."

Why is this video offending people?April 17, 2014 @ 4:42 pm (Updated: 5:02 pm - 4/17/14 )
Pharrell Williams launched a Happy Day movement, to which people are responding with their own videos set to his now overplayed hit "Happy."
One of those videos, Happy British Muslims! is stirring the pot for some people. It shows Muslims of all ages dancing to the hit song.
The group that produced the video said on its blog that it received tons of raw footage of people dancing, smiling, and just plain having a good time.
It says:
We Brits have a bad rep for being a bit stiff, but this video proves otherwise. We are HAPPY. We are eclectic. We are cosmopolitan. Diverse. Creative. Fun. Outgoing. And everything you can think of.
This video is to show the world despite the negative press, stereotypes and discrimination we are burdened with we should respond with smiles and joy, not anger.
What do you think? Does this video offend you?
This woman doesn't like it:
#HAPPYDAY video is utterly bizarre. As @umberg states, "we shouldn't have to prove we are happy in order to be treated as unthreatening."— Sanaz Raji (@SanazRaji) April 16, 2014

Daniel Bryan Wins, WWE Tops 600K Subscribers
NEW ORLEANS (TheStreet) -- "If ya smell what The Rock is cookin?" --The Rock, WWE Superstar
Investors can certainly smell the way toward profitability, as World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) announced it has surpassed 600,000 subscribers, and is well on its way to passing the 1 million subscriber mark on the WWE Network, the company's breakeven point.
Led by Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, the Stamford, Conn.-based company is poised to change television history, yet again, as more companies watch what WWE is doing, with its over-the-top (OTT) streaming service.
In a press release following the company's WrestleMania 30 pay-per-view, which saw such iconic events as The Undertaker losing at WrestleMania and Daniel Bryan becoming the company's champion, WWE has 667,2871 subscribers, just 42 days after the network launched on Feb. 24. Also See: announced in January at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Since the start of the year, WWE shares have been one of the best performing stocks on the New York Stock Exchange, gaining 69%, excluding dividends, compared to a 0.9% return, excluding dividends for the S&P 500.
Right now, the WWE Network, which is the first 24/7 streaming network with live and scheduled programming, is available only in the U.S. The company noted in the press release it would be rolled out to Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Nordics later this year, and into early 2015. In an interview with CFO George Barrios in February, Barrios hinted Canada may be getting the Network earlier than had initially planned. In the interview, Barrios said 1 million domestic subscribers for the Network would help the company break even, but that 2 million to 3 million domestic subscribers would provide the company with an additional $50 million to $150 million in incremental EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). "If we come out of 2014 with 1 million subscribers, we'll get to 2 to 3 million in the traditional ramp rate," he went on to say in the Feb interview. "We've done a lot of research on this. We have very excitable fans who share the brand exuberance, and the standard algorithms we did for the research saw we could get 2 to 3 million subscribers. That's a home run for us, and it changes the business."
WWE Network, which costs $9.99 per month and asks for a six-month commitment, allows fans to view content on whatever device they want, be it Apple TV, Roku, Sony PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Apple's (AAPL) iPad and iPhone, Amazon's (AMZN) Kindle Fire devices, Google (GOOG) Android devices, and on the company's Web site, WWE.com. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New Orleans

WASHINGTON - The No. 13/15 Georgetown University women's lacrosse squad (3-3) will host the No. 11/7 Johns Hopkins University Blue Jays(8-0) on Friday at Multi-Sport Field in a 7 p.m., matchup under the lights. JHU will be the sixth-consecutive ranked opponent the Blue & Gray will face.
Georgetown suffered a tough 18-11 loss to the No. 1/1 University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Tar Heels (9-0) last Saturday afternoon at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C. The Hoyas came back late, but it wasn't enough to take down the top-ranked Tar Heels.
|Johns Hopkins
Baltimore, Md.
Hoyas Open Early Lead and Defeat Johns Hopkins 15-8
Georgetown University's No. 11/8 women's lacrosse team built an 8-2 halftime advantage at No. 12/10 Johns Hopkins on its way to a 15-8 victory. It marked the third road victory for the Hoyas.
The Blue & Gray was close in shots (31-29) and draw controls (17-14), while holding the advantage in both turnovers forcing 12 as well as free position shots going 3-of-5. Three keepers saw time in the cage for the Hoyas combining for seven saves.
Etchison leads the team with 15 points on 12 goals and three assists. Freedman and junior attacker Caroline Tarzian (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City) both have 14 points on the year, while Farrell has tallied 13.
Senior attacker Reilly Woodman (Alexandria, Va./St. Stephen's and St. Agnes) has pulled in a squad-best 23 draw controls, while junior defender Adrianne Devine (Loudonville, N.Y./Shaker) has posted seven caused turnovers.
Freshman Maddy Fisher (Ellicott City, Md./Mount Hebron) has tallied 15 saves in six games played.
Senior Taylor D'Amore broke two school records in leading 14th-ranked Johns Hopkins to a 20-5 win over visiting Michigan in the Blue Jays' American Lacrosse Conference (ALC) opener on Sunday. The Blue Jays also broke the school Division I record for wins to start the season with their ninth straight. D'Amore broke the school's all-time record for career draw controls and the single-game assist record in the win.
Georgetown is 8-7 all-time against Johns Hopkins and has won seven of the last eight meetings. Last season, GU defeated the Blue Jays, 15-8, in Baltimore, Md. Freedman led the way with a career-high five goals. The Hoyas are 3-4 at home in the series.
The opening draw is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Multi-Sport Field. Live stats and a new and improved webcast will be available through www.GUHoyas.com.

We recognize that being a caregiver can be both physically and emotionally draining. Caregivers often focus all their attention on their loved one and neglect their own concerns. This page provides tips, information and a range of suggestions provided by fellow caregivers to help you better cope with the many challenges of caregiving.
Please share your tip or suggestion. We would love to hear from you!
Just a few things that helped me and were great time savers. Keep an updated printout of patients meds and directions. Doctor can provide one also. Take it to all doc appts and ER visits. If you make a lot of ER visits, keep a little bag packed with toiletries, slippers, pjs or whatever they might need. Also keep one for yourself with a book, change for parking or coffee, a couple of aspirin or your own meds, a few snacks that have a long shelf life, bottle of water etc. For ER visits ALWAYS take a jacket because hospitals are almost always cold, even in the summer.

I purchased a medical alert bracelet for my mother which includes her Alzheimer's disease and a drug allergy, the name of her medical clinic, and the first name and phone numbers for my sister and I and my son. If something happens it will be spotted and one of us is always available by phone. She has two metal ID's, one with a ID style chain bracelet and another that has a silicone band attached to the ID. She prefers the chain style.
— Dawn
"Apply Child-proof devices over the door knob for people that wander, or try to leave the house in a panic. Also, for anyone with dementia of any kind, register with Alzheimer's association for their Safe Return bracelet that helps to get the patient home when they have wandered off. This will relieve a source of anxiety for the caregivers. " — Alice A
"It's been helpful for me to keep a journal. I know this may not be practical for some, but I do it on the computer. This exercise of physically typing the symptoms/emotions/frustrations, etc. has released some of the tension, and helps when I look back. Besides the not-so-pleasant things, I try to also include a humorous note, or inspirational, or even a prayer." — Carole
"Take the knobs off the stove so that your loved one does not start to cook and then walk away and forget about it. " — Lynn F.
"Modify the bathroom and most used entrance to the home as soon as possible after diagnosis. This will allow your loved one to stay at home longer." — Pat S.
"Maybe stop by the local police department with an Alzheimer person so that not only will that person know of them but the police department will then be familiar with them. Putting the business card in their pocket was a great idea. Grandmother has in her purse an identification printout in it listing her meds, allergies and collective phone numbers." — Lori P
"Realize that balancing acceptance,along with desperation (over wanting to make your loved one's situation better), and guilt (over not somehow being able to do more) is very difficult. Searching for that balance is one of the many jobs of the loving care giver." — Mary
"If we truly want to provide our loved ones the best of ourselves as their caregiver as well as their family/friend DON'T DO IT ALONE There are so many support groups, resources to help with all needs from delivered hot meals, transportation, financial aid, house-cleaning to relief care. MOST IMPORTANTLY Never take their moods personal- BREAK THRU their walls, you may need to turn it around, express how much it would mean to you, for them to share their childhood memories& dreams, or what life was like, how they grew up? What are there favorite memories of you two as a baby, child, teen and recent(share yours-FOCUS ONLY on the POSITIVE) READ-research any information you can find related to caregivers, and support groups, especially the medical condition and treatments your loved one is experiencing, including books on coping with the illness and death of a loved one. All of these will help you understand, yes, it will be emotional, but the knowledge offers comfort, compassion, strength. Imagine it was you in their place, the loss of independence, dignity, body functions, loss of memory, ETC. AND then Care for them, love them, support them, speak to them & treat them how you would want/need/feel." — Tisha J.
"Find and use appropriate technologies. Get your parents on the same video conferencing system you use. That way you can use the same product to talk to your own kids and grandkids that you use to talk to your parents. That's especially important since these products don't all talk to each other." — Wayne C.
"Don't forget the Do not Resuscitate form filled by your the PCP. Very important. " — Irene
"I've been working as an OT with seniors with dementia for 10 years and please allow them to be as independent and active mentally and physically as possible. It can slow the process down along with the meds." — Scott
"I stuck a business card with my contact information on it in my mother's cell phone case so if her Alzheimer's causes her to get lost (or if she loses her cellphone), the card can be found and I can be reached.Hope this helps someone else." — Eileen
"There's no crystal ball... do your best, with loving intentions. Reach out; talk with those who've "been there," learn about programs and options, plan ahead, but be flexible as needs change. Try to keep in mind the short/long term bigger picture, health, safety and quality of life- for yourself as well as your loved one. It's a marathon, not a sprint, pace yourself, have a support system of family, friends, medical and professionals. Share the load, take breaks without guilt, use humor, don't overlook the small gifts along the way." — CJ
I find that attending aerobic class a few days a week really helps me relax. I also enjoy joking with other members in the class. We have fun and I sometimes really need the break." — Cheryl
Having a good relationship with my mother's doctor has been very helpful. Communication is key to ensuring mom gets what she needs." — Margaret
Joining a support group has really been a life saver. I have learned so much from attending meetings and it is nice to know I am not alone. I have formed some lasting friendships with people who understand my need to cry." — Delores
"Neighbors can be life savers! Tell trusted neighbors when your loved one is alone so you can be contacted in case of an emergency."
— Cassy
"Don't feel guilty if you need a break. Finding time for you is so so important."
— Andrew
"Watch out for signs of depression, and don't delay in getting professional help when you need it."
— National Family Caregivers Association
"Find out what services are available in your community through government, public, and private organizations."

"Try establishing a routine and keeping to a set schedule for as much as possible."

By Peter Biar Ajak, Director
Prior to the historic decision by the Council of Ministers to completely shut down the country's oil production, oil revenues accounted for over 98% of the Republic South Sudan expenditures, 99% of foreign exchange earnings, and over 70% of South Sudan GDP. The 10 states of South Sudan depended on transfers from the Central Government for the bulk of their own expenditures. This post outlines macroeconomic impact of the shutdown and possible scenarios that may emerge.
The Effects on the Output (GDP)
The oil sector accounts for 71 percent of the GDP of South Sudan. The oil shutdown means a contraction of the economy by 71 percent. However, only very few South Sudanese are currently employed in the oil sector where most employees are either north Sudanese, Chinese, or Malaysians. The economy of South Sudan is largely divdided into two:
- Subsistence rural economy: Over 80 percent of South Sudanese are subsistence households, employed in Agriculture (crop farming and animal husbandry), and their economic activities are not directly affected by the oil sector on a daily basis.
- Oil fueled urban economy: The rest of the economy based in the urban areas is largely a cash economy, dependent on imports from the neighboring countries. Since the last census of 2008, people have migrated to the urban areas in waves since most of the Government's budget was being consumed in the urban centers. Most people in the urban areas work for the government (Central of State Government), and the rest either work for private companies or depend on their employed relatives.
Aside from the 71 percent reduction in the output with the shutdown of the oil wells, other reduction in the GDP would occur with the reduction of the government expenditures. Many private companies in the urban areas depend on Government contracts for their profits. A reduction in the Government expenditures would directly translate to fewer contracts, reducing companies' profits.
Fiscal Effects:
With decrease of its revenues by 98 percent, the Ministry of Finance & Economic Planning would necessarily have to cut expenditures. However, South Sudan in this case would not be able to live within its means, since its means consists of only less than 2 percent of its previous resources envelop, while the expenditures have not necessarily decreased overnight. In this case, the Ministry of Finance & Economic Planning (MoFEP) would have to manage its reserves (let's call this figure Z billion) stringently while toiling to augment the revenue base. However, limiting our analysis to only the effects of the oil shutdown, the following may occur on the fiscal side:
- Maintain status quo: The Ministry of Finance & Economic Planning for political reasons, or whatever reason may decide to maintain the budgeted level of expenditures. The current expenditures of GOSS are north of SSP 850 million per month. This means that maintaining the status quo will cause MoFEP to deplete its reserves in [SSP Z Billion/SSP 850 million] months; call this figure K. As such, after K months, the Ministry of Finance & Economic Planning would run out of money, and the following may happen.
- Borrow fast and a lot: MoFEP on behalf of the Government can borrow from domestic and foreign sources to continue to finance its budget deficit. Avenues of credit are limited domestically and international capital markets are not looking promising given the ongoing debt crisis in the Euro Zone and similar issues in the United States. However, South Sudan may look to the Asian countries for credit, although the price on those loans would be quite expensive.
- Seigniorage Tax: The MoFEP and BOSS can print money to finance expenditures. This is often a form of tax on the users of money (consumers, retailers, etc). The printing of money would weaken the value of the SSP and may lead complications on the monetary side such as:
- Hyperinflation: Most hyperinflations have been caused when the Government increased the money supply without corresponding increase in the real output. Such an increase in the money supply results in the increasing price levels (often of over 50% per month) to the point where the currency lose total value and users lose faith in the currency and convert their assets into other mediums.
- Bank run: If economic actors know that the Government is going to print money, this means direct tax on their money unless if they quickly convert into other mediums. People will withdraw their savings in large numbers, causing massive failures of Banks, and convert their money to other forms from the SSP.
- Radically reduce Expenditures:Instead of living way beyond its means, the MoFEP can radically reduce current expenditures as it seeks other sources of funding. Even under this scenario, MoFEP would still be facing an imminent depletion of its reserves, unless if the cuts are deep enough to allow the reserves to last till the completion of the new pipeline. In any case, the reduction in the output could lead to the following:
- Reduced Output/Employment: The reduction of the government expenditures means decrease of public investment, which essential reduces output. It also means that the Government will be demanding fewer goods than it has previously done. Such a normal reduction in output would be exacerbated by reduction in the profits of the private sector, leading to possible layoffs.
- Reduced private investment: Once the Government investment is expected to decline, the private actors themselves will be hesitant to invest in the economy as the uncertain looms. People would prefer to hold on to their cash instead of taking risks that may take too long to pay off when prospects look dim. The reduction of the private and public investments will lead to recession.
Monetary Impacts:
The Bank of South Sudan (BOSS) relies on the holding of foreign exchange reserves to maintain the stability/value of the South Sudanese Pound (SSP). The sale of the crude oil used to provide BOSS with over 99 percent of its monthly foreign exchange earnings. The oil shutdown means that BOSS's foreign exchange supply has diminished by 99 percent, and therefore very little additional foreign exchange will trickle into BOSS's account. As such, BOSS is left with whatever reserves it has accumulated thus far (assume this values to be $X billion) to maintain the stability of the currency.
South Sudan's economy largely relies on imports from its neighbors. The rural economy imports the manufactured goods such as salk, oil, and medicines, but produces its own food; while the urban economy virtually imports almost everything including vegetables. To purchase these imports, South Sudan needs foreign exchange since the SSP is a legal tender only within the jurisdiction of South Sudan, and the cross-border transactions necessarily take place in the currencies of the countries in which the goods are being produced. Assume that for a month of imports, South Sudan needs $Y million. With this knowledge and faced with the imminent depletion of its reserves, the BOSS may do one of the following:
- Maintain the status quo– Maintaining the current level of foreign exchange injection into the market will sustain the current level of imports. Prices would largely stay the same. However, the depletion of current reserves would continue until for [$X billion/$ Y million] months; let's call it J months. After J months, BOSS would not have additional foreign exchange to allow for more imports. Such a scenario would lead to the following things could occur:
- A run on the Banks: In the months leading up to the complete depletion of reserves, rational actors will rush to convert their holding of Sudanese Pounds into hard currency. The rush for hard currency would produce a run on the Banks, where people will move to quickly convert their money into foreign exchange or assets whose value is considered stable. The SSP will become completely useless. Retailers and business will demand foreign currencies as the medium of exchange instead of the SSP.
- Increase in prices: With no more imports coming in, retailers will significantly increase the prices of the few goods they have on their shelves.
- Steadily reduce the injection of Foreign Exchange into the Market: Faced with the decreasing reserves, the BOSS could steadily reduce the injection of the foreign exchange into the market. Such a policy will allow for the little existing reserves ($X billion) to last for a much longer period, depending on the size of the reduction. However, the SSP will start to weaken since the supply of foreign currency has become scarce while the demand remains the same (or even higher due to psychological effects), unless the reduction of the SSP is complemented by a proportionate reduction in the supply of the SSP in the market. As the SSP falls, some of the following may start to occur:
- A depreciated exchange rate: The reduction of foreign exchange supply will result in weaker SSP, which essentially equates to the reduction of imports. As the supply of the imports decrease while the demand largely remain unchanged, the result is an increase in the equilibrium price. Likewise, rational actors will expect BOSS to run out of the supply of reserves sooner. As such, they may in rush to exchange their SSP into dollars before the reserves run out.
These monetary effects reciprocate one another, and much of the impact is often due to sequencing and the psychological reaction of the economic actors. The monetary side often reacts to events and signals from the fiscal side. The decisions by the Government on the fiscal side would also have consequences on the monetaryside.
As it can be seen, oil is the bloodline of the economy of South Sudan. The shutdown of the oil will have enormous consequences in the macro-stability of South Sudan's economy. The output will fall by over 70 percent, causing a massive depression that could radically change the country. The management of the existing reserves by both BOSS and MoFEP will be crucial in surviving the crisis.
