Couple of interesting links

Thought this story in the New York Times magazine was very interesting.  Especially the experiments that they give to children.  Really brilliant.  Don't think that I could dream up these kinds of tests.

Thought this story by a Chinese academic on the real China economic figures was also quite good.  Have seen all this before but it is in a nice compact package here.
