However, many of us believe that policies that pay for all health care services are not real health insurance. Insurance should protect people against catastrophic loss, but it should not insulate them from the cost of all health care.]]> http://www.mediatimesreview.com/blog/2005/08/27/how-economists-really-view-health-insurance/feed/ 0 http://www.mediatimesreview.com/blog/2005/08/19/social-creationism-social-deism-social-atheism/ http://www.mediatimesreview.com/blog/2005/08/19/social-creationism-social-deism-social-atheism/#comments Thu, 18 Aug 2005 22:05:39 +0000 Milen Nedev http://www.mediatimesreview.com/blog/2005/08/19/social-creationism-social-deism-social-atheism/ Naive minds believe that social order must be created, planned, the result of intention.

It is, instead, a telling example of how a smart man can be terribly misled by a fixation on one big idea. In this case, Diamond, a biologist, is trying to apply biology’s master narrative to human societies.]]> http://www.mediatimesreview.com/blog/2005/08/15/biology-doesn%e2%80%99t-explain-why-societies-collapse/feed/ 0 http://www.mediatimesreview.com/blog/2005/08/03/the-great-firewall-of-china/ http://www.mediatimesreview.com/blog/2005/08/03/the-great-firewall-of-china/#comments Wed, 03 Aug 2005 07:22:19 +0000 Milen Nedev http://www.mediatimesreview.com/blog/2005/08/03/the-great-firewall-of-china/ Google is doing business with a communist China notorious for internet censorship.

But this is the era of free market economics. In Britain, Tony Blair has changed what it means to be a socialist. Israel’s famed kibbutz system, once the ideal of socialist utopianism has withered and what is left is now part of the market economy. And China is redefining its own brand of communism.
