八卦一条新闻,据说哈佛大学面临破产的危险.转引 一段文章
According to Boston Magazine Harvard University is to face some very serious problems. The University currently spends about 1.5 billion USD/year, it has lost several billion during crisis – including 500 million thanks to Larry Summers, super feminist fighter (essentially, he presented those 500 million as a gift for GS). If only Dr. Summers spent more time thinking about what he was supposed to think about… but he is clearly not the person to blame as they want him to be.
11 billion of Harvard’s money are currently to be repaid to private investors as capital commitments in the next 10 years, Harvard currently has 13 billion in various assets – and what if the crisis did not reach its bottom yet? What if Harvard is to expect more endowment losses? And all this does not include construction of the new campus in Allston which will be surely put on hold.
第二条就是5月份中国CPI指数同比下降1.4%,持续4个月为负.不过没说的那么严重,终究是全国平均值,实在没什么感觉哎~ 这一段是 FT.COM的描述:
Prices in China fell less sharply last month than in April, official data showed on Wednesday, fuelling hopes that the government’s Rmb4,000bn ($586bn) stimulus measures are beginning to help ease deflationary pressures.
The consumer price index fell 1.4 per cent last month from a year earlier, compared with a 1.5 per cent decline in April, marking the fourth straight month of falling prices. On a month-on-month basis, the National Bureau of Statistics said the CPI dropped 0.3 per cent from April’s level.
