...habits are deeply ingrained and driven by the need for "precautionary savings" for medical care, old age or sudden calamity in the absence of robust government safety nets. "It's not that Chinese like to save for the sake of savings," says Tan Khee Giap, chair of the Singapore chapter of the Pacific Economic Cooperation Council. "It's that for thousands of years they had to save to protect themselves."

...think; why large-scale, sustainable changes won't occur until financial markets take climate costs into account--are presented as tedious lectures. As with flossing every day or eating healthier foods, Americans should make an effort to understand and solve the climate crisis. But a whole chapter about wind turbines?

...they trim their operating budgets, BA/Iberia will still be carrying serious weight - the combined firm should fly some 60 million passengers each year. But that calls for slick organization, something BA hasn't always enjoyed. (Remember the opening of Heathrow Airport's Terminal 5?) "When United [Airlines] went into Chapter 11, they were the largest airline in the world," says Pilarski. "Airlines that went under didn't go under because they were so puny they just needed to be bigger. If BA at their size is not efficient, something is major league wrong...
