Debt: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

You may think that money is invented to make exchange easier. You could imagine that at some point in prehistory. A hunter just shot a deer and a farmer has some carrots and they want to exchange but the meat is worth much more than the carrots. They need to invent something to pay each other the difference. In this story, that’s something would be money, be it in the form of shells or lumps of gold or silver or whatever.

HUNGRY FOR CHANGE IN NEW YORK

Food is at the core of human survival – it can be at the heart of a family’s traditions and the key to a nation’s cultural identity.

RISE OF THE SUPERBUGS

Antibiotics are the wonder drugs of modern medicine. They’ve allowed doctors to save and extend life by killing infection and enabling ground breaking surgery. But imagine a world where antibiotics don’t work – that would be a place dominated by superbugs, bacteria that don’t respond to antibiotics. Scientists say this would end many modern medical procedures and they claim the threat is greater than we realise.
