A total of 6.7 million people in 224 countries and jurisdictions have died from COVID-19. Many more will have perished without being diagnosed and others because they were denied treatment for other illnesses in over-crowded hospitals. Altogather, 653 million cases have been confirmed.展开更多

However, from the point of view of modern theory on economic growth, its analysis of just three kinds of capital is far from complete. A more complete framework should include, besides material capital, natural capital and human capital, at least intellectual capital, international capital and institutional capital, three kinds of capital whose role resembles that of human capital and which exercise their influence on growth and welfare through TFP.展开更多

This is because an inadequate command over economic resources curtails the basic freedoms necessary for human dignity. The 2015 agreement by all 193 member states of the UN to eradicate poverty by 2030 therefore marks a major milestone toward the fulfillment of human rights everywhere. However, human rights are delivered by actions, not international agreements.展开更多
