<b>Smaller countries tend to outperform booming economies in wellness, lifestyle health index:<\/b> A new report from investment firm LetterOne has found that high-GDP countries tend to fall behind in terms of lifestyle and wellness, with many small countries with emerging economies such as Oman, Bahrain, Thailand, Honduras, and Laos making it to the top 25 spots in the Global Wellness Index. The ranking \u2014 which relies on metrics such as life expectancy, blood glucose levels, happiness, and exercise \u2014 indicates that countries with a strong economy and high levels of government spending on healthcare services do not necessarily boast healthy lifestyles, \u201cwith rich countries experiencing high rates of depression and obesity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>The (surprising) winners and losers:<\/b> Although Canada sits at the top of the ranking, and Nordic countries such as Norway and Sweden also score near the top, many developed countries do not fare as well. The US and Japan, for instance, \u201cscore surprisingly low, and sit outside the top 25, held back by poor scores on obesity and blood pressure. The UK, with the fifth highest GDP ranking globally, comes in at 16th place, while the Maldives comes in at fourth place despite having a lower GDP ranking of 169th place.\u201d <b>Egypt doesn\u2019t fare very well due to high rates of obesity and blood pressure<\/b> and its poor score on life expectancy, but beats out South Africa, whose economy the report notes was growing at impressive rates at the turn of the millennium.<\/p>\n<p><b>This ranking is not the first to find this surprising inverse correlation between wealth and wellness<\/b>, but lends further credence to the shift in the conventional wisdom on the relationship between the two indicators. The International Commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress <a href=\"https:\/\/thenewpress.com\/books\/mismeasuring-our-lives\">found in a study<\/a> published 10 years ago that GDP is a deeply flawed metric of social progress, and the OECD Better Life Index published last year <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecdbetterlifeindex.org\/blog\/is-gdp-still-useful.htm\">discourages reliance on GDP<\/a> as the sole indicator of social welfare.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/emerging-markets\/\">emerging markets<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/health\/\">health<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/social-welfare\/\">social welfare<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/the-macro-picture\/\">THE MACRO PICTURE<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"601606\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"601606\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">6<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Image of the Day<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/05\/environmental-damage-halts-commercial-land-reclamation-in-china\/\">\r\n                            Environmental damage halts commercial land reclamation in China                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/05\/environmental-damage-halts-commercial-land-reclamation-in-china\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

Left: <\/b>Talking to any veteran South American lefty about helicopters is likely to trigger less-than-fond memories of the dark days of the 1970s. And while many of the Trump-loving Twitterati are only too happy to give out <a href=\"https:\/\/gizmodo.com\/why-are-trump-supporters-offering-people-free-helicopte-1829705238\">helicopter rides<\/a> without charge to supporters of Bernie Sanders, center-left Democratic Party politicians may be seeing political benefits from an altogether different use of the helicopter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/cbed81fc-3b56-11e9-9988-28303f70fcff\">David McWilliams writes in the FT<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Opening the floodgates:<\/b> Former Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke earned his moniker \u2018Helicopter Ben\u2019 after he masterminded the central bank\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/q\/quantitative-easing.asp\">quantitative easing (QE)<\/a> strategy during the 2008 financial crisis. In a last-ditch attempt to prevent the implosion of the financial sector, the Fed frantically bought up junk securities and treasury bonds; propping up asset prices, lowering interest rates and staving off economic collapse. The helicopters were deployed above Wall Street and the sector became awash with cash.<\/p>\n<p><b>And now the millennials have bones to pick: <\/b>While QE succeeded in protecting the assets held by the boomer generation, it has effectively cordoned off property ownership as an unrealistic ambition for many millennials. This is beginning to exact political consequences, with the generational division of wealth becoming a hot topic in the early run-up to the 2020 presidential election. With <a href=\"http:\/\/www.people-press.org\/2018\/03\/01\/the-generation-gap-in-american-politics\/\">Pew Research<\/a> finding the majority of millennials supporting center-left policy positions, Fed monetary policy may well be responsible for a profound shift in US politics. As McWilliams asks ominously: \u201cWhat if a policy designed to protect the balance sheets of the wealthy has unleashed force that may lead to the mass appropriation of those assets in the years ahead?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/monetary-policy\/\">monetary policy<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/quantitative-easing\/\">quantitative easing<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/us-federal-reserve\/\">US Federal Reserve<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/tag\/worth-reading\/\">worth reading<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"601612\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"601612\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">10<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">Worth watching<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/05\/us-regulators-are-considering-cutting-big-tech-down-to-size\/\">\r\n                            US regulators are considering cutting Big Tech down to size                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/egypt\/2019\/03\/05\/us-regulators-are-considering-cutting-big-tech-down-to-size\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

Although Facebook, Amazon and Google may be \u201cthe big oil or railroad corporations of their day,\u201d in order for the US to take antitrust action it would usually have to demonstrate that the consumer has been harmed in some way \u2014 usually by price increases. Still, anyone who has watched Facebook gobble up rivals must be tempted to sympathize with critics who argue that giant tech companies are in danger of undertaking some fairly anti-competitive practices, states this FT video (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/video\/40624012-e50d-4e80-9122-4541b66bd169\">watch, runtime: 1:49<\/a>). For that reason, measures are being put in place in the US for an entirely different approach to regulating the tech sector. The Federal Trade Commission is setting up a taskforce to examine antitrust issues, and even re-review agreements it previously approved.

This podcast episode from <a href=\"https:\/\/kerningcultures.com\/\">Kerning Cultures<\/a> explores the story of Nasri Khattar, the man \u201ctried to completely overhaul the Arabic script \u2014 singlehandedly\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/kerningcultures.com\/the-perfect-renaissance-man?fbclid=IwAR04a-X0Rr9VFxlUIp7xq0Qrwq7dgyafejr7q72Kmqo32JedtPMQpLeBBj4\">listen, runtime: 24:20<\/a>). Khattar\u2019s idea was to reduce the number of variations for each letter in the language: The entire alphabet is only 28 letters, but once the different shapes according to their position in a word and vocalization marks are taken into account, \u201ca complete set of glyphs can easily reach up to 150 shapes,\u201d type designer and professor <a href=\"https:\/\/worksthatwork.com\/6\/unified-arabic\">Yara Khoury Nammour notes<\/a>. This vast number of variances made it extremely difficult to fit all of the letters on a regular typewriter. Ultimately, Khattar believed that replacing the traditional Arabic typography with his proposed Unified Arabic system would reduce illiteracy rates across the Arab world by eliminating hurdles to mass producing printed materials in Arabic.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sadly, Khattar\u2019s system never caught on:<\/b> Few people actually liked the idea of Unified Arabic; not scholars, not politicians and not the average book readers. And when computers replaced typewriters, the problem that Khattar spent his life trying to solve became irrelevant.<\/p>\n<p><b>But although Khattar\u2019s system never properly took flight, his ideas lived on<\/b>: In Egypt, the Academy of Arabic Language actually launched a competition to revamp Arabic script and make it more uniform. While some proposed \u201cLatinizing\u201d Arabic (the equivalent of modern-day \u201cFranco-Arab\u201d WhatsApp language) and others wanted to literally recreate a whole new alphabet, there were some entrants in the competition who prescribed to the idea of reducing the number of letters or otherwise streamlining the Arabic language.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!--
