Wardrobe Bar

This fine furniture improvisation out of old wardrobes is part of the interior design that Andreas Strauss did in five days for the Club 5 Events of the Wiener Festwochen (you can see one picture more on their page).

Free Trade Hypocrisy

Andrew Leonard closes his article on the hypocrisy of current free trade politics with this insight by Friedrich List, a 19th century German economist:

"It is a very clever common device that when anyone has attained the summit of greatness, he kicks away the ladder by which he has climbed up, in order to deprive others of the means of climbing up after him ... Any nation which by means of protective duties and restrictions on navigation has raised her manufacturing power and her navigation to such a degree of development that no other nation can sustain free competition with her, can do nothing wiser than to throw away these ladders of her greatness, to preach to other nations the benefits of free trade, and to declare in penitent tones that she has hitherto wandered in the paths of error, and has now for the first time succeeded in discovering the truth."
