It cannot be the task of this book to discuss the problem of social cooperation otherwise than with rational arguments. But the root of the opposition to liberalism cannot be reached by resort to the method of reason. This opposition does not stem from the reason, but from a pathological mental attitude?from resentment and from a neurasthenic condition that one might call a Fourier complex, after the French socialist of that name.
Concerning resentment and envious malevolence little need be said. Resentment is at work when one so hates somebody for his more favorable circumstances that one is prepared to bear heavy losses if only the hated one might also come to harm. Many of those who attack capitalism know very well that their situation under any other economic system will be less favorable. Nevertheless, with full knowledge of this fact, they advocate a reform, e.g., socialism, because they hope that the rich, whom they envy, will also suffer under it. Time and again one hears socialists say that even material want will be easier to bear in a socialist society because people will realize that no one is better off than his neighbor.
At all events, resentment can still be dealt with by rational arguments. It is, after all, not too difficult to make clear to a person who is filled with resentment that the important thing for him cannot be to worsen the position of his better situated fellow men, but to improve his own.
The Fourier complex is much harder to combat. What is involved in this case is a serious disease of the nervous system, a neurosis, which is more properly the concern of the psychologist than of the legislator. Yet it cannot be neglected in investigating the problems of modern society. Unfortunately, medical men have hitherto scarcely concerned themselves with the problems presented by the Fourier complex. Indeed, they have hardly been noticed even by Freud, the great master of psychology, or by his followers in their theory of neurosis, though it is to psychoanalysis that we are indebted for having opened up the path that alone leads to a coherent and systematic understanding of mental disorders of this kind.
Scarcely one person in a million succeeds in fulfilling his life's ambition. The upshot of one's labors, even if one is favored by fortune, remains far inferior to what the wistful daydreams of youth allowed one to hope for. Plans and desires are shattered on a thousand obstacles, and one's powers prove too weak to achieve the goals on which one has set one's heart. The failure of his hopes, the frustration of his schemes, his own inadequacy in the face of the tasks that he has set himself-these constitute every man's most deeply painful experience, They are, indeed, the common lot of man.
There are two ways in which man can react to this experience. One way is indicated by the practical wisdom of Goethe:
- Dost thou fancy that I should hate life,
Should flee to the wilderness,
Because not all my budding dreams have blossomed?
his Prometheus cries. And Faust recognizes at the "highest moment" that "the last word of wisdom" is:
- No man deserves his freedom or his life
Who does not daily win them anew.
Such a will and such a spirit cannot be vanquished by any earthly misfortune. He who accepts life for what it is and never allows himself to be overwhelmed by it does not need to seek refuge for his crushed self-confidence in the solace of a "saving lie." If the longed-for success is not forthcoming, if the vicissitudes of fate destroy in the twinkling of an eye what had to be painstakingly built up by years of hard work, then he simply multiplies his exertions. He can look disaster in the eye without despairing.
The neurotic cannot endure life in its real form. It is too raw for him, too coarse, too common. To render it bearable he does not, like the healthy man, have the heart to "carry on in spite of everything." That would not be in keeping with his weakness. Instead, he takes refuge in a delusion. A delusion is, according to Freud, "itself something desired, a kind of consolation"; it is characterized by its "resistance to attack by logic and reality." It by no means suffices, therefore, to seek to talk the patient out of his delusion by conclusive demonstrations of its absurdity. In order to recuperate, the patient himself must overcome it. He must learn to understand why he does not want to face the truth and why he takes refuge in delusions.
Only the theory of neurosis can explain the success enjoyed by Fourierism, the mad product of a seriously deranged brain. This is not the place to adduce evidence of Fourier's psychosis by quoting passages from his writings. Such descriptions are of interest only to the psychiatrist and, perhaps, also to people who derive a certain pleasure from reading the productions of a lewd phantasy. But the fact is that Marxism, when it is obliged to leave the field of pompous dialectical rhetoric and the derision and defamation of its opponents and to make a few meager remarks pertinent to the issue, never has anything different to advance from what Fourier, the "utopian," had to offer. Marxism is likewise unable to construct a picture of a socialist society without making two assumptions already made by Fourier that contradict all experience and all reason. On the one hand, it assumes that the "material substratum" of production, which is "already present in nature without the need of productive effort on the part of man," stands at our disposal in such abundance that it need not be economized; hence the faith of Marxism in a "practically limitless increase in production." On the other hand, it assumes that in a socialist community work will change from "a burden into a pleasure"?indeed, that it will become "the primary necessity of life." Where a superfluity of all goods abounds and work is a pleasure, it is, doubtless, an easy matter to establish a land of Cockaigne.
Marxism believes that from the height of its "scientific socialism" it is entitled to look down with contempt on romanticism and romantics. But in reality its own procedure is no different from theirs. Instead of removing the impediments that stand in the way of the realization of its desires, it too prefers to let all obstacles simply fade away in the mists of phantasy.
In the life of the neurotic the "saving lie" has a double function. It not only consoles him for past failure, but holds out the prospect of future success. In the case of social failure, which alone concerns us here, the consolation consists in the belief that one's inability to attain the lofty goals to which one has aspired is not to be ascribed to one's own inadequacy, but to the defectiveness of the social order. The malcontent expects from the overthrow of the latter the success that the existing system has withheld from him. Consequently, it is entirely futile to try to make clear to him that the utopia he dreams of is not feasible and that the only foundation possible for a society organized on the principle of the division of labor is private ownership of the means of production. The neurotic clings to his "saving lie," and when he must make the choice of renouncing either it or logic, he prefers to sacrifice logic. For life would be unbearable for him without the consolation that he finds in the idea of socialism. It tells him that not he himself, but the world, is at fault for having caused his failure; and this conviction raises his depressed self-confidence and liberates him from a tormenting feeling of inferiority.
Just as the devout Christian could more easily endure the misfortune that befell him on earth because he hoped for a continuation of personal existence in another, better world, where those who on earth had been first would be last and the last would be first; so, for modern man, socialism has become an elixir against earthly adversity. But whereas the belief in immortality, in a recompense in the hereafter, and in resurrection formed an incentive to virtuous conduct in this life, the effect of the socialist promise is quite different. It imposes no other duty than that of giving political support to the party of socialism; but at the same time it raises expectations and demands.
This being the character of the socialist dream, it is understandable that every one of the partisans of socialism expects from it precisely what has so far been denied to him. Socialist authors promise not only wealth for all, but also happiness in love for everybody, the full physical and spiritual development of each individual, the unfolding of great artistic and scientific talents in all men, etc. Only recently Trotsky stated in one of his writings that in the socialist society "the average human type will rise to the heights of an Aristotle, a Goethe, or a Marx. And above this ridge new peaks will rise."[1] The socialist paradise will be the kingdom of perfection, populated by completely happy supermen. All socialist literature is full of such nonsense. But it is just this nonsense that wins it the most supporters.
One cannot send every person suffering from a Fourier complex to the doctor for psychoanalytic treatment; the number of those afflicted with it is far too great. No other remedy is possible in this case than the treatment of the illness by the patient himself. Through self-knowledge he must learn to endure his lot in life without looking for a scapegoat on which he can lay all the blame, and he must endeavor to grasp the fundamental laws of social cooperation.

The Foundations of Liberal Policy
Human society is an association of persons for cooperative action. As against the isolated action of individuals, cooperative action on the basis of the principle of the division of labor has the advantage of greater productivity. If a number of men work in cooperation in accordance with the principle of the division of labor, they will produce (other things being equal) not only as much as the sum of what they would have produced by working as self-sufficient individuals, but considerably more. All human civilization is founded on this fact. It is by virtue of the division of labor that man is distinguished from the animals. It is the division of labor that has made feeble man, far inferior to most animals in physical strength, the lord of the earth and the creator of the marvels of technology. In the absence of the division of labor, we would not be in any respect further advanced today than our ancestors of a thousand or ten thousand years ago.
Human labor by itself is not capable of increasing our well-being. In order to be fruitful, it must be applied to the materials and resources of the earth that Nature has placed at our disposal. Land, with all the substances and powers resident within it, and human labor constitute the two factors of production from whose purposeful cooperation proceed all the commodities that serve for the satisfaction of our outer needs. In order to produce, one must deploy labor and the material factors of production, including not only the raw materials and resources placed at our disposal by Nature and mostly found in the earth, but also the intermediate products already fabricated of these primary natural factors of production by previously performed human labor. In the language of economics we distinguish, accordingly, three factors of production: labor, land, and capital. By land is to be understood everything that Nature places at our disposal in the way of substances and powers on, under, and above the surface of the earth, in the water, and in the air; by capital goods, all the intermediate goods produced from land with the help of human labor that are made to serve further production, such as machines, tools, half-manufactured articles of all kinds, etc.
Now we wish to consider two different systems of human cooperation under the division of labor-one based on private ownership of the means of production, and the other based on communal ownership of the means of production. The latter is called socialism or communism; the former, liberalism or also (ever since it created in the nineteenth century a division of labor encompassing the whole world) capitalism. The liberals maintain that the only workable system of human cooperation in a society based on the division of labor is private ownership of the means of production. They contend that socialism as a completely comprehensive system encompassing all the means of production is unworkable and that the application of the socialist principle to a part of the means of production, though not, of course, impossible, leads to a reduction in the productivity of labor, so that, far from creating greater wealth, it must, on the contrary, have the effect of diminishing wealth.
The program of liberalism, therefore, if condensed into a single word, would have to read: property, that is, private ownership of the means of production (for in regard to commodities ready for consumption, private ownership is a matter of course and is not disputed even by the socialists and communists). All the other demands of liberalism result from this fundamental demand.
Side by side with the word "property" in the program of liberalism one may quite appropriately place the words "freedom" and "peace." This is not because the older program of liberalism generally placed them there. We have already said that the program of present-day liberalism has outgrown that of the older liberalism, that it is based on a deeper and better insight into interrelationships, since it can reap the benefit of the advances that science has made in the last decades. Freedom and peace have been placed in the forefront of the program of liberalism, not because many of the older liberals regarded them as coordinate with the fundamental principle of liberalism itself, rather than as merely a necessary consequence following from the one fundamental principle of the private ownership of the means of production; but solely because freedom and peace have come under especially violent attack from the opponents of liberalism, and liberals have not wanted to give the appearance, through the omission of these principles, that they in any way acknowledged the justness of the objections raised against them.
The idea of freedom has become so ingrained in all of us that for a long time no one dared to call it into question. People were accustomed always to speaking of freedom only with the greatest of reverence; it remained for Lenin to call it a "bourgeois prejudice." Although the fact is often forgotten today, all this is an achievement of liberalism. The very name of liberalism is derived from freedom, and the name of the party in opposition to the liberals (both designations arose in the Spanish constitutional struggles of the first decades of the nineteenth century) was originally the "servile."
Before the rise of liberalism even high-minded philosophers, founders of religions, clerics animated by the best of intentions, and statesmen who genuinely loved their people, viewed the thralldom of a part of the human race as a just, generally useful, and downright beneficial institution. Some men and peoples are, it was thought, destined by nature for freedom, and others for bondage. And it was not only the masters who thought so, but the greater number of the slaves as well. They put up with their servitude, not only because they had to yield to the superior force of the masters, but also because they found some good in it: the slave is relieved of concern for securing his daily bread, for the master is obliged to provide him with the necessities of life. When liberalism set out, in the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth century, to abolish the serfdom and subjection of the peasant population in Europe and the slavery of the Negroes in the overseas colonies, not a few sincere humanitarians declared themselves in opposition. Unfree laborers are used to their bondage and do not feel it as an evil. They are not ready for freedom and would not know how to make use of it. The discontinuation of the master's care would be very harmful to them. They would not be capable of managing their affairs in such a way as always to provide more than just the bare necessities of life, and they would soon fall into want and misery. Emancipation would thus not only fail to gain for them anything of real value, but would seriously impair their material well-being.
What was astonishing was that one could hear these views expressed even by many of the slaves whom one questioned. In order to counter such opinions, many liberals believed it necessary to represent as the general rule and even on occasion to depict in an exaggerated manner the exceptional cases in which serfs and slaves had been cruelly abused. But these excesses were by no means the rule. There were, of course, isolated instances of abuse, and the fact that there were such cases was an additional reason for the abolition of this system. As a rule, however, the treatment of bondsmen by their masters was humane and mild.
When those who recommended the abolition of involuntary servitude on general humanitarian grounds were told that the retention of the system was also in the interest of the enslaved, they knew of nothing to say in rejoinder. For against this objection in favor of slavery there is only one argument that can and did refute all others-namely, that free labor is incomparably more productive than slave labor. The slave has no interest in exerting himself fully. He works only as much and as zealously as is necessary to escape the punishment attaching to failure to perform the minimum. The free worker, on the other hand, knows that the more his labor accomplishes, the more he will be paid. He exerts himself to the full in order to raise his income. One has only to compare the demands placed on the worker by the tending of a modern tractor with the relatively small expenditure of intelligence, strength, and industry that just two generations ago was deemed sufficient for the enthralled ploughmen of Russia. Only free labor can accomplish what must be demanded of the modern industrial worker.
Muddleheaded babblers may therefore argue interminably over whether all men are destined for freedom and are as yet ready for it. They may go on contending that there are races and peoples for whom Nature has prescribed a life of servitude and that the master races have the duty of keeping the rest of mankind in bondage. The liberal will not oppose their arguments in any way because his reasoning in favor of freedom for all, without distinction, is of an entirely different kind. We liberals do not assert that God or Nature meant all men to be free, because we are not instructed in the designs of God and of Nature, and we avoid, on principle, drawing God and Nature into a dispute over mundane questions. What we maintain is only that a system based on freedom for all workers warrants the greatest productivity of human labor and is therefore in the interest of all the inhabitants of the earth. We attack involuntary servitude, not in spite of the fact that it is advantageous to the "masters," but because we are convinced that, in the last analysis, it hurts the interests of all members of human society, including the "masters." If mankind had adhered to the practice of keeping the whole or even a part of the labor force in bondage, the magnificent economic developments of the last hundred and fifty years would not have been possible. We would have no railroads, no automobiles, no airplanes, no steamships, no electric light and power, no chemical industry, just as the ancient Greeks and Romans, with all their genius, were without these things. It suffices merely to mention this for everyone to realize that even the former masters of slaves or serfs have every reason to be satisfied with the course of events after the abolition of involuntary servitude. The European worker today lives under more favorable and more agreeable outward circumstances than the pharaoh of Egypt once did, in spite of the fact that the pharaoh commanded thousands of slaves, while the worker has nothing, to depend on but the strength and skill of his hands. If a nabob of yore could be placed in the circumstances in which a common man lives today, he would declare without hesitation that his life had been a beggarly one in comparison with the life that even a man of moderate means can lead at present.
This is the fruit of free labor. It is able to create more wealth for everyone than slave labor once provided for the masters.
There are high-minded men who detest war because it brings death and suffering. However much one may admire their humanitarianism, their argument against war, in being, based on philanthropic grounds, seems to lose much or all of its force when we consider the statements of the supporters and proponents of war. The latter by no means deny that war brings with it pain and sorrow. Nevertheless, they believe it is through war and war alone that mankind is able to make progress. War is the father of all things, said a Greek philosopher, and thousands have repeated it after him. Man degenerates in time of peace. Only war awakens in him slumbering talents and powers and imbues him with sublime ideals. If war were to be abolished, mankind would decay into indolence and stagnation.
It is difficult or even impossible to refute this line of reasoning on the part of the advocates of war if the only objection to war that one can think of is that it demands sacrifices. For the proponents of war are of the opinion that these sacrifices are not made in vain and that they are well worth making. If it were really true that war is the father of all things, then the human sacrifices it requires would be necessary to further the general welfare and the progress of humanity. One might lament the sacrifices, one might even strive to reduce their number, but one would not be warranted in wanting to abolish war and to bring about eternal peace.
The liberal critique of the argument in favor of war is fundamentally different from that of the humanitarians. It starts from the premise that not war, but peace, is the father of all things. What alone enables mankind to advance and distinguishes man from the animals is social cooperation. It is labor alone that is productive: it creates wealth and therewith lays the outward foundations for the inward flowering of man. War only destroys; it cannot create. War, carnage, destruction, and devastation we have in common with the predatory beasts of the jungle; constructive labor is our distinctively human characteristic. The liberal abhors war, not, like the humanitarian, in spite of the fact that it has beneficial consequences, but because it has only harmful ones.
The peace-loving humanitarian approaches the mighty potentate and addresses him thus: "Do not make war, even though you have the prospect of furthering your own welfare by a victory. Be noble and magnanimous and renounce the tempting victory even if it means a sacrifice for you and the loss of an advantage." The liberal thinks otherwise. He is convinced that victorious war is an evil even for the victor, that peace is always better than war. He demands no sacrifice from the stronger, but only that he should come to realize where his true interests lie and should learn to understand that peace is for him, the stronger, just as advantageous as it is for the weaker.
When a peace-loving nation is attacked by a bellicose enemy, it must offer resistance and do everything to ward off the onslaught. Heroic deeds performed in such a war by those fighting for their freedom and their lives are entirely praiseworthy, and one rightly extols the manliness and courage of such fighters. Here daring, intrepidity, and contempt for death are praiseworthy because they are in the service of a good end. But people have made the mistake of representing these soldierly virtues as absolute virtues, as qualities good in and for themselves, without consideration of the end they serve. Whoever holds this opinion must, to be consistent, likewise acknowledge as noble virtues the daring, intrepidity, and contempt for death of the robber. In fact, however, there is nothing good or bad in and of itself. Human actions become good or bad only through the end that they serve and the consequences they entail. Even Leonidas would not be worthy of the esteem in which we hold him if he had fallen, not as the defender of his homeland, but as the leader of an invading army intent on robbing a peaceful people of its freedom and possessions.
How harmful war is to the development of human civilization becomes clearly apparent once one understands the advantages derived from the division of labor. The division of labor turns the self-sufficient individual into the dependent on his fellow men, the social animal of which Aristotle spoke. Hostilities between one animal and another, or between one savage and another, in no way alter the economic basis of their existence. The matter is quite different when a quarrel that has to be decided by an appeal to arms breaks out among the members of a community in which labor is divided. In such a society each individual has a specialized function; no one is any longer in a position to live independently, because all have need of one another's aid and support. Self-sufficient farmers, who produce on their own farms everything that they and their families need, can make war on one another. But when a village divides into factions, with the smith on one side and the shoemaker on the other, one faction will have to suffer from want of shoes, and the other from want of tools and weapons. Civil war destroys the division of labor inasmuch as it compels each group to content itself with the labor of its own adherents.
If the possibility of such hostilities had been considered likely in the first place, the division of labor would never have been allowed to develop to the point where, in case a fight really did break out, one would have to suffer privation. The progressive intensification of the division of labor is possible only in a society in which there is an assurance of lasting peace. Only under the shelter of such security can the division of labor develop. In the absence of this prerequisite, the division of labor does not extend beyond the limits of the village or even of the individual household. The division of labor between town and country-with the peasants of the surrounding villages furnishing grain, cattle, milk, and butter to the town in exchange for the manufactured products of the townsfolk—already presupposes that peace is assured at least within the region in question. If the division of labor is to embrace a whole nation, civil war must lie outside the realm of possibility; if it is to encompass the whole world, lasting peace among nations must be assured.
Everyone today would regard it as utterly senseless for a modern metropolis like London or Berlin to prepare to make war on the inhabitants of the adjacent countryside. Yet for many centuries the towns of Europe kept this possibility in mind and made economic provision for it. There were towns whose fortifications were, from the very beginning, so constructed that in case of need they could hold out for a while by keeping cattle and growing grain within the town walls.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century by far the greater part of the inhabited world was still divided into a number of economic regions that were, by and large, self-sufficient. Even in the more highly developed areas of Europe, the needs of a region were met, for the most part, by the production of the region itself. Trade that went beyond the narrow confines of the immediate vicinity was relatively insignificant and comprised, by and large, only such commodities as could not be produced in the area itself because of climatic conditions. In by far the greater part of the world, however, the production of the village itself supplied almost all the needs of its inhabitants. For these villagers, a disturbance in trade relations caused by war did not generally mean any impairment of their economic well-being. But even the inhabitants of the more advanced countries of Europe did not suffer very severely in time of war. If the Continental System, which Napoleon I imposed on Europe in order to exclude from the continent English goods and those coming from across the ocean only by way of England, had been enforced even more rigorously than it was, it would have still inflicted on the inhabitants of the continent hardly any appreciable privations. They would, of course, have had to do without coffee and sugar, cotton and cotton goods, spices, and many rare kinds of wood; but all these things then played only a subordinate role in the households of the great masses.
The development of a complex network of international economic relations is a product of nineteenth-century liberalism and capitalism. They alone made possible the extensive specialization of modern production with its concomitant improvement in technology. In order to provide the family of an English worker with all it consumes and desires, every nation of the five continents cooperates. Tea for the breakfast table is provided by Japan or Ceylon, coffee by Brazil or Java, sugar by the West Indies, meat by Australia or Argentina, cotton from America or Egypt, hides for leather from India or Russia, and so on. And in exchange for these things, English goods go to all parts of the world, to the most remote and out-of-the-way villages and farmsteads. This development was possible and conceivable only because, with the triumph of liberal principles, people no longer took seriously the idea that a great war could ever again break out. In the golden age of liberalism, war among members of the white race was generally considered a thing of the past.
But events have turned out quite differently. Liberal ideas and programs were supplanted by socialism, nationalism, protectionism, imperialism, etatism, and militarism. Whereas Kant and Von Humboldt, Bentham and Cobden had sung the praises of eternal peace, the spokesmen of a later age never tired of extolling war, both civil and international. And their success came only all too soon. The result was the World War, which has given our age a kind of object lesson on the incompatibility between war and the division of labor.

GigaSpaces XAP, the scale-out application server, bridges the gap between on-demand hardware scalability and on-demand application scalability.
This AMI supports Amazon Large, Extra Large and High-CPU Medium Instances. It is designed for large cluster deployments.
Start using the GigaSpaces AMI today!
The Benefits of GigaSpaces XAP for Amazon EC2:
- Scalable and reliable data layer: Out-of-the-box load-balancing, partitioning and fail-over -- providing scalability, performance and reliability for data-intensive and transactional applications
- Linear scalability on the cloud: When application components (such as data and business logic) need to interact across Amazon Machine Image (AMI) boundaries scalability is hindered. GigaSpaces enables running the entire transaction, computation or query within a single AMI and scale by clustering multiple AMIs
- Write Once Scale Anywhere: With GigaSpaces XAP, developers can write their application on their laptop as if it will run on a single box, and then scale across multiple EC2 servers without changing a single line of code
- Transparently scale applications from on-premise servers to the EC2 cloud: Run your application in-house and scale it on-demand on Amazon EC2 for handling peak loads

Whenever I look out of my window, I see my elderly neighbour pottering around in his garden. He plants vegetables, he feeds strange fish in a tank, he is constantly drilling holes in bits of wood or undertaking some kind of D.I.Y task. His costume of choice is a straw hat, a stained white vest, long baggy shorts and welly boots, although every so often he dons a black suit and tie. Those are the days when he attends one of the ever-increasing funerals of his ageing friends. I look out of the window and I can't help but envy Mr Yamamoto. Not the funerals, of course. Nor the D.I.Y or vegetable growing when it comes down to it. No, what I envy is that he is free to do as he pleases each and every day, and if he chooses to wear comical clothing and spend a day scraping mud off the roots of carrots, he can jolly well spend as long as he wants doing it. And if one of his friends expires, he can feel sadness and grief without worrying about the pain of having to request a day off work. Mr Yamamoto is free. Mr Yamamoto is retired.
I suppose I first started thinking about retirement when I was in my mid-thirties, a few years after I had started my own school. I had managed to amass a small cushion of funds in my bank account and wondered what I should do with it. The generally expressed view regarding pensions was that my generation could expect but a scant one, and that any funds available could be claimed at an ever advancing age. Being self-employed, no company pension exists for me and I soon realised that if I want to avoid shuffling around car boot sales in slippers and spending my senior years wrapped in blankets and wondering if candlelight might be more prudent than electricity I had better take things into my own hands. I phoned a fellow in Tokyo.
This chap was apparently a financial advisor. You would think that means he knows a lot about finance. Maybe he does; maybe he doesn't. I'm still not sure. What I do now know, is that it doesn't mean he will always offer his best advice to me. After all, self-preservation is a tempting priority.
The man talked to me about funds and dividends, about annuities, bonds and bonus payments, about diversity and maturity, and I nodded and said 'I see,' 'Yes' and 'I thought so,' at inappropriate junctures, when all I really wanted to ask was that he stop the highbrow mumbo-jumbo and talk to me as though I were an idiot.
A few years later, I realised that is exactly what he had been doing, for it seems what I had agreed was that I would send him some money monthly, and he would invest that money somewhere far away that would ensure he would continue to increase the funds in his bank account while the assets he bought for me would offer considerably less return than the money I kept at the back of a sock drawer. This, he somehow managed to convince me, would be a sensible agreement for the next 15 years.
As I checked the value of my account each month, I thought that alternative action may be necessary if I wished to avoid penury. I did a bit more research, and stumbled upon the rather wonderful site Retire Japan. This is a site that explains things easily to people. It is a site for anybody who worries about the future but for whom the thought of even beginning to get to grips with NISA and J401 and ETFs and bonds is overwhelming. And don't worry if you don't know what any of those things are, because it is a site which is welcoming to beginners. You can join its forum and post, 'I'm thinking about buying one of those stock market things. Any thoughts?' and nobody will laugh at you.
Of course, there are lots of sites out there giving advice about investing and Retire Japan does indeed link to many of them, but what this site does better than any of them is give advice specifically to people living in Japan. That is important, because much of the advice on other sites or in books doesn't apply to Japan. You can't be a Brit in Japan, for example, and just open a UK trading account. There are rules that stop you doing things like that. Retire Japan helps you decide what else you might do.
So this is a post to recommend Retire Japan to people in Japan. I have no direct interest in the site; I just think it is a good one and think it would be better if more people came to visit its forum to either offer their own advice or experiences, or to ask questions. What Ben at the site has done is make it easier for people in Japan to take better control of their own financial future. It's not just about investing, either. You can learn a bit about the tricky subject of inheritance over two jurisdictions, about how best to transfer money abroad, or simply about saving. In other words you can start thinking about all those annoying but necessary things now so that you can save your energy later to concentrate on the things that will need it then: liver spots, sagging skin, hair that leaves the head and pointlessly redistributes itself to unnecessary areas of the body – those sorts of things. If nothing else Retire Japan reminds me to keep an eye on the future and take steps to make sure I don't end up a piss-sodden chap shouting abuse at people in the street about the injustices of the world.
I am still some way from retiring, but I can at least now see the finish line. It's not that I hate work or want to stop; it's just that I want the choice. Maybe I'll do nothing in my later years or maybe I will join the ranks of old folk with red batons helping people to near collisions in car parks in Japan. I don't know. What I do know is that if Ben had started his site ten years earlier I would be dreaming about a life of freedom far sooner than I dare to now. Ah well, we'll get there in the end.

Power Pro Kun Pocket
Power Pro Kun Pocket (パワプロクンポケットシリーズ, abbrv. :パワポケ), sometimes simply called Pawapoke or Power Pocket, is a sub-series (spinoff) of the Power Pro series of baseball game developed by Konami. The series is released only on the Nintendo's hand held platform (GBC, GBA, and Nintendo DS). The series consists of 14 game entries (12 main series, 1 spin-off and 1 remake).
Originally, the game was planned to link the story with the Success Mode storyline in the main (Pawapuro) series. However, the series now departs from the world of Pawapuro series and forms independent storylines. Since the 8th iteration, Konami uses Baseball variety instead of Sport/Simulation as a game genre. Instead of baseball, the portion in Success Mode are much larger than the main series, which will be mentioned below.
It is noted that the Atsumare! Power Pro Kun no DS Koushien is not included in the series, although the prequel Pawapoke Koushien was (see note). The DS version of MLB Power Pros 2008 also used the sprites in Power Pro Kun Pocket, but obviously it is not a Pawapoke series member either.
The game[edit]
Although the game nearly retains everything, including the feature of Power Pro series mascot (The Pawapurokun: a Rayman like character without face parts (other than eyes) and have its legs detached from the rest of its body) using nearly the same game system as the main series, the Power Pro Kun Pocket series is completely different from its mother series (Power Pro Series) in other aspects. It uses a more simple system in baseball than their main series. Many features outside the Success Mode were removed from the series, however, features related to Success Mode is increased.
As a feature of the whole Power Pro Series, passwords produced in the Pawapoke series can be transferred to Nintendo consoles' Power Pro Series for playing, but the ability may be weakened a lot[citation needed].
Differences between Pawapuro and Pawapoke Series[edit]
Here are some of the major differences between the two series:
For Baseball[edit]
- There are no real ballparks included, other than Koshien Stadium.
- Farm team players are not included in the series. Individual default tactics towards team and players are not available.
- No coaches, managers, player flows and growth in pennant mode.
- Card Baseball can be played instead since the eight game (Introduced by spin-off Power Pro Kun Pocket Dash)
For Abilities[edit]
- Existence of Super Ability, which are stronger than usual abilities.
- Changes of explanation, and effects of some abilities.
- Name changes for some abilities, abilities in Power Pro series with the suffix 2 becomes X (△ for 10), 4 becomes ○ and 5 becomes ◎.
For Game Modes[edit]
- Money system is introduced to buy expansion teams, mini games, or some other features (similarly to MLB Power Pros series).
- Mini games are included in nearly every series. Some can be played upon certain conditions, but most needed to be obtained by Success Mode.
The Success Mode in Power Pro Kun Pocket series[edit]
Other than the first game (one success mode), and Koshien (does not feature any success mode), all other Power Pro Kun Pocket series titles features at least two different success modes, which called "Outer-Success" and "Inner-Success". Unlike the Power Pro series, this series did not follow storyline with realism, and many fantasy elements were mixed into the series. The series was greatly influenced by Tokimeki Memorial series, which was the original success mode in power pro series intends to, even Konami itself admit the series becomes "a Gal-game with baseball contents", making them changed its genre to "Baseball Variety".
Like the Power Pro's setting, fictional pro teams exists in the series as well, but it is completely different teams since the setting has been developing on its own now[citation needed].
Super Ability[edit]
There exist 10 rare abilities collectively called Super Ability, which can give a great increase to statistics (can exceed limit) or have more negative effects towards opponent players. Pitcher and fielders have a separate 5-set ability and no one can hold more than one Super Abilities. Some Super Abilities will cancel out other Super Abilities in play. Such abilities will not be kept when the player is transferred to the Power Pro series.
The only way to obtain the Super Abilities is playing in Success Mode. In "Outer-Success", players can obtain Super Abilities by finishing the girl's endings, which each of them keep two (one each for pitcher and fielder) Super Abilities. However, in each of the series there exist a wild-card girl character, who can give any Super Abilities by players' choice, but usually it needs tougher requirements[citation needed].

Note: Power Pocket Koushien (DS) was released as a Power Pro Kun Pocket series title entry when it was released in 2005. However, as the storyline has no relationship with the main series, currently Konami has removed it from the series' website. Although KDE-J did not have any official announcement towards such change, nor any declaration about that removal of series entry, it was assumed Power Pocket Koushien are no longer one of the series' entries.[citation needed] (Power Pocket Koushien's sequel, Atsumare! Power Pro Kun no DS Koushien was a completely different case to presequel since it was never released as a Power Pro Kun Pocket series title entry.)

Confusing And Subverting Free Speech
The Indian left found itself badly exposed in the recent Salman Rushdie saga. The so called progressive part of the minority community openly broke ranks with the established left and left-liberals and made no bones about demanding that Rushdie be denied entry to India. Individuals from academia and theater alike, continued to support the rowdy elements in Jaipur – who had promised "Instant trouble" upon Rushdie's real or virtual presence in the Jaipur Literary festival, by constantly legitimizing their urges to impose blasphemy laws upon Mussalmans and non-Mussalmans alike. But we have to hand it to the brilliant organizers of the Literature festival that despite so much internal crisis they managed to celebrate the Arab spring, show their support to the Palestinian state and to top it all succeeded in presenting a benign and charming image of the Muslim Brotherhood. Frankly, it seemed that the stage of Jaipur Literature Festival was nothing more than a glorified coffee shop.
For the last two to three days the entire left-liberal / progressive machinery seems to be working overtime to settle this score. An opportunity in the form of the issue of the movie Jashn-e-Azaadi could have come at no better time. I haven't watched the movie and hence will not comment on it's contents, however what we know is that the censor board declined to certify and permit this movie for public viewing and screening. By it's description from it's makers one can conclude that the movie is indeed designed to make a political point. As of now student bodies like the ABVP who were opposed to lend the University platform for such political purposes seemed to have prevailed over the authorities of Symbiosis College Of Arts And Commerce. As a result the College has canceled the scheduled screening of the said movie.
The first shots in this campaign -aimed at confusing the readers to submit to and unquestioningly accept the equality of the Salman Rushdie fatwa saga and the movie screening issue, were fired by the daily -"The Hindu". Sudhir Kumar presents a brilliant takedown of such attempts by The Hindu here. This was followed by a series of posts at Kafila which again tried to work the same angle. The words fatwa, movie-ban seemed to have been clinically chosen to hammer in the equality of both these cases into the minds and hearts of unsuspecting readers. Even a very little and a momentary application of some basic human intelligence is sufficient to see both these issues for what they are and conclude that they are anything but similar.
The idea of free speech is propounded and accepted only for a certain public sphere, it is an obvious point but an essential one. I for example, cannot demand that a paper like "The Hindu" publish this post as their lead opinion piece. The newspaper falls outside the public sphere I just mentioned. Just like a newspaper labors to remain consistent to it's ideals and reader expectations other public institutions like the Universities have to respond to student concerns and local pressures. As long as it is non-violent and legal there is absolutely nothing wrong with such lobbying and pressure tactics. For eg , years back students at many Engineering colleges brought pressure on their managements to disallow Dow Chemicals (Responsible for Bhopal gas tragedy) from recruiting students directly from their campuses, and the Institute administrations had to fall in line.
In the Rushdie episode we had a group which wanted to deny him entry within India, the same group had succeeded in ensuring a ban on his book. These steps were intended to deny Rushdie that very public space which is central to the concept of freedom of speech. It is nobody's case, ( not even the ABVP's I think) that the makers of this movie be deported from India or that the movie be banned. The movie is available freely on the internet. The producers of the movie can look for other venues for such screening with the approval of authorities of those respective venues. They have just been denied a platform which is primarily owned by the college and it's students. If they wish to, they can stand outside the Railway platform and distribute free copies of the movie to the masses.
In the last few years there seems to be some nascent trend of nationalistic and centre-right voices finding firm footing in select few places. Platforms like universities, media, art etc have been exclusively used by the left-liberals of the nation for decades. They do it with impunity and with absolutely no sense of self-doubt. Those on the right who assert legally by forming pressure groups etc must continue to press forward without any moral baggage.

"Nipo-Brasileiro" is the term Phillip Lim used this season for the meeting of Japanese and Brazilian cultures found in South America's largest nation. In particular, he was referencing the martial arts subculture that exists in a country where capoeira clashes with karate to form a unique brand of combat. Part street fighter, part neo-Baroque, 3.1 Phillip Lim's Spring/Summer 2013 collection featured above all, the unique twists and masterful construction that earned him the CFDA's Swarovski Award for Menswear last year. Oversized tees and pullovers in metallic floral appliques and mirrored prints are new takes on the basics, while boxing and karate-inspired shorts and athletic jackets with detachable panels update classic silhouettes with modern details.
A selection from 3.1 Phillip Lim's Spring/Summer 2013 collection is now available from our online store.

Liposuction to Abs, Flanks and Back Resulted in Fibrous Tissue: No Good for Revision?
I'm considering a 2nd lipo w/fat transfer using my arms, inner thighs and inner knees.
My Q's are A)Are these places viable for fat transfer?
B)Am I likely to have more fibrous tissue?
C)I'm petite, is it even worth it?
Doctor Answers 2
Do I have enough fat for a Brazilian butt lift
One thing is true, only the fact that you have can be harvested and placed in your buttocks. If you are petite, and or don't have a lot of fat then you may not get the result that you expect. That discussion should be had with your plastic surgeon so that realistic goals and expectations can be set and to prevent you from being disappointed. Based on her discussion, you have to make a value judgment on cost. I hope this helps!
Liposuction, fat transfer
It is not uncommon for the flank area to be more fibous. If you are petite there may not be a lot of fat in those other locations for harvest.

Scooter's Frozen Custard - Chicago
Filet Mignon
2007/03/04 21:00:48
Can spring be far behind with the annual right of re-opening at Scooter's Frozen Custard? After a great dinner at home tonight, young son and I drove the 35 minutes to Belmont and Ashland to enjoy a little dessert of frozen custard. Make mine a black raspberry with cookie dough and Irish mint with cookies and cream for the younger guy. It was delicious - really creamy, no ice crystals, great add-ins. It could not be improved!
If you're in the Chicago area, stop by and feel 20 degrees warmer...just like spring!

Port Ops and Vessel Efficiency
According to the United Nations, the world's population which currently stands at just over 6.7 billion could reach over nine billion by 2050. This staggering figure will no doubt create a surge in consumerism and a subsequent increase in demand for much larger ships, in order to be sufficiently equipped to support the global trade economy. Furthermore, the need for bigger vessels is being driven by the shipping companies' desire to reduce costs, in order to weather the economic storm which still remains a worrying challenge. Cruise ships are also facing a growing pressure to provide bigger and better vessels which include much grander amenities such as shopping malls and golf courses, to accommodate the increasing number of people taking holidays at sea, with passenger ferries facing similar challenges.
Although there are obvious benefits to much larger ships such as fuel consumption, the increased risks and challenges which can impact overall operational efficiency of the vessel must not be ig nored. Ian Fraser, Director of BMT ARGOSS, a subsidiary of BMT Group Ltd, discusses the associated challenges and presents a holistic view on the necessary actions needed to be taken, to ensure that these large capacity vessels operate in the most efficient and effective manner and are able to meet future needs. He also considers the impact this growing trend is having on ports around the world and provides guidance on how best to leverage this opportunity.
The recent order from Maersk for 10 new Triple-E mega-ships, each capable of carrying 18,000 twenty foot containers would certainly suggest that the trend for much larger vesselsis gaining momentum. Although the benefits of such vessels can be seen as an extremely attractive proposition in terms of economies of scale and reduced fuel consumption, there are increased risks and challenges which must be effectively realized and overcome before we can even think about introducing these ships to our seas.
First, the risk of collision with other vessels is heightened due to the confined spaces that many of these larger ships will have to navigate through. The sheer size of these vessels will also create a much more complex operational environment for the crew onboardand more specifically the Captain, whose job it is to manage the safe transition of the ship in and out of port. Within this environment comes the potential need for more tugs to support the vessel, as well as an increased level of general shore side support infrastructure.
Additionally, the risk to the environment is noteworthy. Larger ships mean larger amounts of goods, materials, chemicals or people being transported, therefore the repercussions of such a vessel losing its cargo becomes an ever greater risk to our seas. Couple this with the desire for ships to operate further afield in order to maximize the commercial opportunities and where operating conditions can be much harsher (i.e significantly higher wave heights and colder waters), it's no surprise that companies are turning to specialist experts to help them overcome the various issues before construction begins.
Understanding the impact on ports is certainly of equal importance as they are the vital connection between the ship and ensuring the effective flow of international trade and passengers from country to country, therefore accommodating much larger vessels must be duly considered. Regardless of where the port is situated, there will undoubtedly be a need to analyze and increase the amount of dredging required or introduce new handling techniques and specialized berthing structures. An enhancement of the mooring capabilities such as ropes and bollards will also be needed and it's important that the relevant stakeholders develop a comprehensive strategy to ensure that an effective infrastructure is indeed in place.
Tugs, as aforementioned play an important part in supporting a ship's transition to port therefore if port authorities are looking to support the berthing of much larger vessels, they must also consider the tug requirements to ensure the necessary support can be maintained. Analysis of the cost effectiveness of having more of the same type and size of tugs already available or introducing larger tugs and their associated environmental impacts and requirements would need to be carried out.
Never before has the shipping industry been under such intense pressure to address CO2 emissions and energy efficiency. As a result legislation is constantly evolving with the IMO (International Maritime Organization) as the driving force. For example, the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) which took centre stage at the IMO's 62nd Marine Environmental Protection Committee (MEPC) session was finally agreed to be put on a mandatory footing with 49 states voting in favor. These new regulations are expected to come into force from January 1, 2013 and will apply to all new ships of 400 gt and above. Therefore, the impact of such regulation must be understood by designers and builders in order to ensure that these proposed mega-ships are fully compliant. It is for this reason that designers, builders and equipment suppliers around the world are now striving for more efficient and eco-friendly designs. Classification society requirements will also continue to evolve and revisions to current rules will no doubt be introduced – all of which needs to be addressed by the relevant stakeholders. The importance of staff training cannot be underestimated. As these ships continue to increase in size and ports become busier, the risk of incidents such as collisions and groundings becomes even greater. Bigger ships means more equipment to handle and it's vital that seafarers are equipped with the necessary knowledge to better understand the complexities in operating such a vessel. This becomes even more important when operating within challenging environmental conditions, therefore the training must be comprehensive and consider the effect unfavorable weather conditions can have on mega-ships – all of which will help to optimize operability and maintenance and minimize safety risks. Despite facing an uphill struggle to overcome these challenges, key stakeholders within the shipping industry are taking the necessary steps to address the associated risks. Port authorities for example, are working with independent experts, including BMT who are providing advice on the apparent effects on moorings from ship to ship interaction. Traffic analysis is also being undertaken by many ports. Operators, owners and charterers are now quickly realizing the importance of performance monitoring on board vessels and this need will only become greater when much larger ships are introduced. Fuel usage and its effect on tightening budgets is an increasing bugbear and being able to educate your crew on the effects of their actions and how to improve overall operational efficiency can certainly create a win-win situation.
The term energy mapping, in other words monitoring, is becoming increasingly important for cruise ships in particular, due to the vast area of living space on board such a vessel, compared to for example, a container ship which will normally only have a very small living area. This type of monitoring allows operators, owners and charterers to assess their entire emissions and energy consumed across the ship and help identify where efficiencies can be made.
In isolation all of the issues are being considered by individual stakeholders. With our use of comprehensive, industry driven, advanced software modelling, environmental modelling and general approach to understanding the core issues surrounding analysis of vessel/portdesign and operation, BMT has the expertise to deal with every aspect of the supply chain.
Decision Support Systems such as PC REMBRANDT and SMARTSERVICES for each of the aspects considered are becoming increasingly important tools to the industry and fundamental to the education process, from direct training through to performance trend monitoring and analysis. This, coupled with ourhigh quality meteorological and oceanographic services over the 20 years provides us with the enviable position to be able to support all the operational requirements that will arise with the increasing size of vessels. It will also allow us to provide vital support to the general industry in driving down costs,whilst continuing to operate in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.

Spurs, WASA claim vital Super League points
A strike on the hour-mark from prolific teenaged forward Shackiel Henry doubled with a first-half effort from Andre Quashie handed Siparia Spurs a comfortable 2-0 win over Westside Superstarz to further distance the South-based club from a heated blink/bmobile National Super League relegation battle.
The fixture was one of three played on Sunday, together with a win for second-from-bottom and reigning champion WASA FC's and a 2-2 draw between third-from-bottom Bethel and 1976 FC Phoenix. Bethel salvaged a late point thanks to an added-time goal from former T&T defender Makan Hislop.
Spurs' win kept it four points ahead of the three-team relegation zone. WASA, meanwhile, claimed a 2-0 win over rock-bottom FC Santa Rosa, via late goals from Jabari Raphael (79th) and veteran striker and former T&T standout Gary Glasgow (89th). The victory was WASA's second in succession, in what appears to be a last grasp at survival with few matches remaining in this season's competition.
On Friday, Guaya United completed the double over former long-standing league leader Club Sando, with a 2-1 win. Guaya, with two matches in hand, will have the opportunity to win the league outright if it can take maximum points from the next seven matches.
Malabar FC, which leads the standings on goal-difference over Club Sando, was on a bye for the weekend.
At the conclusion of the league, three teams will be relegated while two will be promoted from the Champions of Champions Super League qualification tournament.

straight leaders for nymphing?
i have heard tapered leaders are bad for nymphing. is a straight leader a better option?
Re: straight leaders for nymphing?
I have not had any problems with a tapered leader, in fact I prefer it. If I snag and break off I just want to lose that smallest piece instead of potentially the entire leader.
Re: straight leaders for nymphing?
Never heard that one, a level leader is good when you are fishing streamers and looking for big fish with heavy flies but for a little nymph being fished in traditional style............Tapered
Could be the information was regarding fishing the nymph beneath a bobber / indicator, I can not see where a tapered leader would have any advantage when used this way.
Re: straight leaders for nymphing?
i believe it was about indicator fishing.
they said that a tapered leader will create more drag than a level leader.
Re: straight leaders for nymphing?
Re: straight leaders for nymphing?
Drag may be splitting hairs but if I were an Indi fisherman I would run 8 pound fluorocarbon to the bobber and loop to loop a tippet from there to the fly. This would make things simple in the event of a snag. The leader loop will break but you will still have the loop on the heavier line. You could be carrying leader sections with pre tied loops in different lengths (for depth control) and replacing a tippet would be fairly painless...............
Re: straight leaders for nymphing?
For me, using tippet instead of a tapered leader is just cheaper.
I have a really small swivel at the end of my butt section, I'll either attach the indicator there, or slide it down for shallow water.
Tie on 6' (or so) of 3x, blood knot 2' of 4x - tie on the fly. If I need weight, I put them above the blood knot. so they don't slip. (for Steelhead, I go up one size for both)
it's probably 25 cents or less for the 'leader' vs $4 - lol - yes I'm cheap
Re: straight leaders for nymphing?
There are at least three important things you are trying to accomplish with a nymphing presentation. You want as drag free afloat as is possible. You want the nymph o get down to the feeding level as soon as possible. You want as little slack as possible so you can detect strikes. Whether high sticking or fishing upstream, a level leader would help with all these things.

By PAUL WISEMANWASHINGTON (AP) â¿¿ An ax is scheduled to hit the federal budget Friday: Unless the White House and Congress reach a budget deal by then, automatic cuts will carve $85 billion out of the budget through Sept. 30 and $1.2 trillion over the next decade. The cuts in defense spending, unemployment benefits and other programs could slow an already struggling economy. And they would leave unaddressed the biggest long-term threats to the government's finances â¿¿ rising bills for Medicare and Social Security. Economists say there's a better way. Shrinking the federal debt doesn't have to mean either hurting the economy now or ignoring the spending burdens of the future. Economists widely agree that policymakers should delay deep cuts such as the ones slated to take effect Friday until the economy has strengthened. But they say lawmakers should come up with a realistic long-term plan to fix the debt as soon as possible. The plan would raise revenue and promote economic efficiency by closing tax loopholes, and it would focus cuts on the health care spending that will rise relentlessly as the vast baby boom generation retires. In the short term, though, what most worries economists is the threat of deep cuts this year. The cutting set to start Friday is "haphazard, and cuts good programs and bad. It's not good budgeting practice," says Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics. When a government spends more than it collects in taxes in a year, it runs an annual deficit. Every annual deficit adds to the accumulated federal debt. For the United States, both numbers look bad. Annual deficits have exceeded $1 trillion the past four years. The federal debt has reached $11.7 trillion, not including money that federal agencies have borrowed from each other, including from the Social Security trust fund. If nothing is done about the long-term budgetary burdens, the debt will reach $19.9 trillion by 2023, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
