Rumour has it that Conrad’s novel, Heart of Darkness, was based on his experience of the Japanese lettuce, notorious for wilting the moment the barcode is read, so I’d say Takaichi san will easily survive the Truss challenge.

Land Economics continues to celebrate 100 years in publication! To read an open access bibliometric review of the journal (doi.org/10.3368/le.102.1.271914) and other free preprint articles like it, visit: le.uwpress.org/content/early/recent.
Abstract: Spanning 1925–2024, we map Land Economics (LE) using Web of Science and Scopus with VOSviewer, bibliometrix, and SciVal. Analyses of documents, authors, and themes show LE as a central node linking environmental, agricultural, and urban economics. Seminal strands—property rights, contingent valuation, discrete choice, and hedonic pricing—anchor long-run influence. Keyword co-occurrence and thematic mapping confirm persistent emphases on valuation models, impact assessment, and policy applications, alongside emerging work on ecosystem services, climate change, and the water–energy nexus. Trend-topic and SciVal clusters reveal growing attention to disaster management, green innovation, and behavioral economics with uneven recent citation performance across topics and time.

No. They are monetizing (Monet izing?) hypothetical well-being gains.

Actually... from my reading of the artists' basic income report, the government did not earn money back from the scheme (although its costs were offset 37%)

Most gains were societal and came from putting the artists' improvements in wellbeing in € terms

Public or private, an enterprise that has no money to pay its workers or suppliers must eventually close. The American federal government is currently teaching the world how this works.

A hospital that runs continuously in the red will be unable to pay its staff at some point or will have to cut services. Eventually it must close.

Toyota Motor plans to install 500 more high-speed chargers for electric cars at dealerships in Japan — a goal that falls short of a pledge it made to install 10 times that number.

Something to celebrate!

The world's biggest economies are installing Renewables at a rapid rate

China is leading the pack in size and scale

This reality flies in the face of the rhetoric opposing urgent climate action

If you’re raising a child in Japan, you’ll probably have come across the beautiful illustrations of Mitsumasa Anno (安野 光雅). Here’s 7, now showing along with other numbers, in a delightful retrospective at Mito’s Ibaraki Museum of Modern Art.

The government estimate for a magnitude 8-9 Nankai Trough earthquake within the next 30 years, has been revised from an 80% chance, to a 60-90% chance or more (６０～９０％程度以上). Hope that helps. www.yomiuri.co.jp/science/2025...
