Federal Reserve officials prepare for the start on Wednesday of their two-day policy meeting, they may wish to recall what happened when policymakers in past decades became overconfident in using demand management policy measures to «fine tune” the economy. The lesson learned on more than one occasion is that — apart from threats of high inflation at the one end and recessions or balance sheet implosions at the other end — it is better to maintain a steady policy steer rather than react to every data point. The time has come for the Fed to internalize, albeit belatedly, this lesson. Policymakers grew increasingly confident at the end of the 20th century that fiscal and monetary policies could be used to deliver a “great moderation.” Some went as far as to suggest that they had “conquered the business cycle.” At the root of this overconfidence in “fine tuning” the economy — something that had also occurred a couple of decades earlier — was a misunderstanding of John Maynard Keynes’s innovative insights into the workings of the demand side of the economy, which was best summarized in his 1936 “The General Theory of Employment, Interest Rates and Money.” It was a policymaking phenomenon that, once again, had gone too far, oversimplifying Keynes’ critical insights. And it was one that was again blown apart by a series of disruptive events, quite a few of which were caused by a lack of humility.

This drew protests from BJP MLAs, all 28 of whom stood up to oppose the move.

US election 2024 results on Tuesday night (November 5) may not know the outcome unless Democratic nominee Kamala Harris or Republican candidate Donald Trump scores a significant victory in most states, especially the so-called swing states. If there are no blow-out margins of victory and the election numbers follow the polls all of which give leads within the margin of error — with crucial swing state Pennsylvania’s as narrow as 0.4 per cent for Trump — it may take days or even weeks to sort out the contested results with recounts, as per an IANS report. Traditionally, the candidate losing the election concedes defeat even before the official announcement of the results if the outcome is clear. But Trump has not admitted he lost even four years after President Joe Biden defeated him in 2020.

will to ensure 'unlimited' care for his pet dog Tito is likely to trigger a 'pawsome' trend — more and more pet parents making provisions for their furry companions on their posthumous wish lists. While queries on these lines have been coming in for a while now, the trend is still at a nascent stage in India. Tata's move, say lawyers, will generate much more awareness about the issue, prompting more people to follow suit. Pets are not recognised as people capable of holding property or inheriting the estate of another person — they are deemed to be personal property. Therefore, while many Indians see their pets as their children, Indian law still doesn't. Hence, the law doesn't allow for either leaving anything to pets as a bequest; or creating a trust with a pet as a beneficiary.

Bharti Airtel is slated to deliver 13%-16% growth in consolidated revenues/Ebitda compounded annually through FY24-FY27, propelled by a combination of more frequent tariff hikes, a ramp-up of its 5G-based fixed wireless access (FWA) offerings as well as a steady growth of its non-mobile businesses and Africa operations, analysts said. They added that reduced capex spends towards 5G and rural network expansion from FY25 onwards is also slated to help the nation's second-largest telco generate substantial free cash flows (FCF) in the next two fiscals. «With a moderation in capex intensity, Airtel is likely to generate significant free cash flows of ₹33,000 crore-₹43,000 crore in FY25-FY26, which should lead to significant deleveraging and improvement in shareholder returns,» Motilal Oswal said in a research note seen by ET.

India were swept 3-0 by New Zealand at home. Not the Australians’ Final Frontier, with among the best teams assembled, not England’s BazBall, but New Zealand just playing Test cricket as it should be. India did not take their eyes off the prize—a place in the World Test Championship final—rather they were too glued to it, and took their eyes off the ball. Cricket, especially if you are a batsman, is a one-ball game, because that’s all it takes to end your stay, and if you’re not focussed in the moment, you’re done. This Indian team has built a proud home record because they play well together. There was a sense of fire under Virat Kohli, but Rohit Sharma has brought companionship back to the fore as a leader. He’s not one to cut someone down when they have had a bad day.

Real estate developers across the country have approached the government, raising concerns over a recent National Green Tribunal ruling that requires them to secure environmental clearances for projects from central authorities as against state agencies, saying the shift will delay projects and drive up operational costs. Until now, the State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA) used to grant environmental clearances to real estate projects. This system allowed local authorities, familiar with the regional geography and specific regulations—since land is a state subject—to efficiently approve projects tailored to the area's needs. But an NGT judgment in August unilaterally reversed this situation and directed the ministry of environment & forest (MOEF) to get all real estate projects appraised by the Sectoral Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC) at the centre.

Dalai Lama The purpose of life is to strive for happiness. We are here; we exist and we have the right to exist. Even non-sentient beings like flowers have the right to exist. And, as sentient beings, we have even more mechanisms to help us survive. Pleasure and pain, happiness and unhappiness, are things that we need to examine in depth. For example, every sentient being has the right to survive; this means having a desire for happiness or comfort: that's why sentient beings strive to survive. Therefore, our survival is based on hope — hope for something good: happiness....
