Fields of Gold: Lifting the Veil on Europe's Farm Subsidies
The European Union spends €55 billion a year on farm subsidies. Until recently the question of where the money goes was a closely-guarded secret.

The Austrian School on Business Cycles: 100 Years of Being Right | Mark Thornton
Skyscrapers and Business Cycles
The skyscraper index, created by economist Andrew Lawrence shows a correlation between the construction of the world's tallest building and the business cycle. Is this just a coincidence, or perhaps do skyscrapers cause business cycles? A theoretical foundation of "Cantillon effects" for the skyscraper index is provided here showing how the basic components of skyscraper construction such as technology are related to key theoretical concepts in economics such as the structure of production. The findings, empirical and theoretical, suggest that the business-cycle theory of the Austrian School of economics has much to contribute to our understanding of business cycles, particularly severe ones.

Every year,the European Union pumps some 6 billion euros into Germany's agricultural sector. But where does it all go?The amount farmers receive depends on how much land they have. Small-scale farmers are amazed to find out how much the big agricultural enterprises cream off from Brussels. Our reporter Kerstin Schweizer travelled to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern,one of the poorest parts of the country,that is also home to Germany's largest agricultural enterprise. The firm receives 3.7 million euros in direct payments from Brussels every year,a figure that astounded even the local mayor. He says he would prefer to promote small and medium-sized businesses that create more jobs.
