De m/v machtsbalans

De m/v machtsbalans

Onderstaand artikel, Vrouwen zijn beter in oude koeien uit de sloot halen, was oorspronkelijk de aanleiding voor deze blog. Langzaam kantelde het onderwerp naar de m/v machtsbalans.

Introduction LO: China is well-known for its trade-off between (its promise of) economic progress and (the lack of individual) freedom (eg, AEA-2018, HBR-2015). However, that trade-off has been deteriorating ever since its disastrous zero-Covid policy.
