BLACK DYNAMITE
I just saw this movie for the first time yesterday. Intentionally ridiculous yet satisfyingly entertaining, Black Dynamite (2009) is a spoof of blaxploitation films of the 1970s. I think Michael Jai White, an actor and professional martial artist who starred in the film and also worked on the story and screenplay, did a great job.

It is hard to avoid Nigerian films in Africa. Public buses...

Create Dangerously: A Call to Artistic Arms

Why do firms exist?
“FOR philosophers the great existential question is: “Why is there something rather than nothing?” For management theorists the more mundane equivalent is: “Why do firms exist? Why isn’t everything done by the market?”
Today most people live in a market economy, and central planning is remembered as the greatest economic disaster of the 20th century. Yet most people also spend their...
