10/26's Summary

Dear Reading Club friends,

Today we watched the documentary film "Inside Job" for about 40 minutes.
The film is great, especially in its narrating and interpreting abilities to get down to the basics.The documentary consists of a number of interdependent individual interviews, which always lead to amazing inside stories in the financial industry. Although perceived as kind of economic illustration, the documentary itself is lively, or say, humorous in word choices at certain points: it makes you smile despite the feeling of absurdity for those GIANT decisional pitfalls. Strongly recommend it, even from my own point of view.
Afterwards, we had a few words on the documentary about how the financial crisis is turning from lacking liquidity in 2008 towards no willingness to investment in 2011.
Finally we moved on to continue the topic last week about big concerns in Asia.They are:
the rising nations including China, India, and Indonesia;
the absence of union in terms of politics and economics;
the challenge facing transformation of value chain (from the primary and secondary industry to the tertiary industry). A Singaporean called Kishore Mahbubani wrote a book "Can Asians think?", which discusses the third point.
Next week we are supposed to talk about the topic "happiness". Have a good time and see you all then!
