Utah passes bill to make Gold and Silver legal tender In a defiant mood, Utah's House and Senate thumbed their noses at the US Federal Reserve by passing a bill to remove state taxes on the transfer of gold and allow shops in the state to accept payment in gold coins.

"When the idea of translating Atlas Shrugged occurred to me, I was overtaken by awe.

The “giving pledge” of Warren Buffett and Bill Gates was signed by 40 of the wealthiest Americans. Gates and Buffett have asked the wealthiest to give up half of their wealth for philanthropic causes. Strangely, many complied and many more are like to, in coming days.

In the Indian society, businessman are not regarded highly enough as of various cultural reasons and prejudices. Much of it had to do with the caste system, but it can’t be solely attributed to it.
