Mired in a multi-billion-dollar bribery scandal, indebted to the hilt and worth a third of the 405 billion reais ($250 billion at the time) it was valued at shortly after its initial public offering in 2010, Brazil’s oil behemoth Petrobras is having a rather difficult time. Sacking the boss boosted the sinking shares, but it will not fix the problems at the corehttp://econ.st/1ziZT5e

A new generation of historians, like Bethany Moreton and Stephen Mihm, above, is focusing on capitalism and the bosses, bankers and brokers who run the economy. 


Q. “Never Sorry” ends in 2011, after you emerged from 81 days of secret detention and were placed under house arrest. How would you describe your current situation?
A. My status is supposed to be that of a free man, but they have never given back to me my passport. So I cannot travel abroad. Within China the conditions are much looser towards me, except that I am heavily monitored. If I go out, people still secretly monitor me.

Armed forces


Armied to the hilt

The world's biggest armed forces
ON JULY 18th the British government announced a reduction to the country's army from 101,000 troops now to 84,000 by 2020. Altogether Britain's active armed forces—ie, excluding reserves—numbered 178,000 in 2010, placing it a fairly modest 28th in a global ranking of 161 countries for which data are available. Indeed, its European counterparts Germany and France actually maintain larger armed forces of 251,000 and 238,000 respectively. In absolute numbers, rich and populous countries such as America, China and India keep the biggest militaries. Countries that have seen war (Iran, Vietnam) or are situated in strife-torn regions such as the Middle East also feature prominently. The most heavily militarised country of all is North Korea, where there are 49 military personnel for every 1,000 of its people.
