The Economist | The world economy: Weaker than it looks
The world economy
Growth is healthy in America and Britain. But most of the world economy is in trouble
FOR the American and British economies it has been a long road out of the woods, but the journey is nearing its end. America's unemployment rate fell below 6% in September. Britain's economy, where output was up 3.2% in the year to June, is growing faster than any other big rich country's. Central bankers are counting the days until they can raise interest rates.

The Economist | BuyPartisan: Voting with your wallet
BuyPartisan
An app that brings partisan rage to the grocery store
WASHINGTON, DC
PURITANISM, wrote H.L. Mencken, is "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy." Half a century later, the prissiest Americans are haunted by a different fear: that they may buy cheese made by someone whose opinions they do not share. To help people avoid this calamity, a new app called BuyPartisan reveals whether any given product is made by Republicans or Democrats.

How gunshot-detecting microphones help police curb crime

IF A gun fires and nobody reports it, does it make a sound? Some police forces are finding out. On September 3rd the Urban Institute, a think-tank, produced a report based on data from Washington DC's police "ShotSpotter" system, a network of microphones that covers around a quarter of the city. In the 2011-12 school year, the devices detected 336 incidents of gunfire during the school day. Over half the schools in the covered area had at least one gunshot nearby—most of which went unreported.

Foreign funding of NGOs
Illiberal governments are blocking activists from receiving foreign cash. Liberal ones should not join in
THE International Committee of the Red Cross, Médecins Sans Frontières, Human Rights Watch, Transparency International: to most people these and thousands of other non-governmental organisations (NGOs) sound like outfits whose work should be welcomed and encouraged. But that is not how it looks to plenty of governments. In the last few years, around 20 countries have planned or passed laws restricting the freedom of NGOs to raise funds abroad. Some echo the language of Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, and now require foreign-funded NGOs to register as "foreign agents"—a phrase that since the cold war has carried the connotation of espionage and treachery.

Advertising and technology
Surveillance is the advertising industry's new business model. Privacy needs better protections
THE potent combination of three-martini lunches and creative genius in "Mad Men", a television show about 1960s Madison Avenue, is a fair representation of the advertising industry's past. For its future, though, look to a 2002 film, "Minority Report", starring Tom Cruise and set in 2054. Mr Cruise, as usual, spends a lot of time on the run. When he dashes past a digital billboard it takes note of his exertions, remarking, "You could use a Guinness right about now."

The Economist | Scottish independence: UK RIP?
Scottish independence
Ditching the union would be a mistake for Scotland and a tragedy for the country it leaves behind
SCHOOLCHILDREN once imagined their place in the world, with its complex networks and allegiances, by writing elaborate postal addresses. British youngsters began with their street and town (London or Manchester, Edinburgh or Cardiff), followed by England, Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland; then came the United Kingdom (and after that Europe, the World, the Universe…). They understood that the UK, and all its collective trials and achievements—the industrial revolution, the Empire, victory over the Nazis, the welfare state—were as much a part of their patrimony as the Scottish Highlands or English cricket. They knew, instinctively, that these concentric rings of identity were complementary, not opposed.

Emerging economies
Incomes in the developing world are no longer speeding toward those in the rich
THE financial crisis was grim, but the most important global economic development in the early 21st century was a positive one: the dramatic acceleration of growth in the emerging world. Between 2000 and 2009 output per person in poor countries excluding China grew an average of 3.2 percentage points a year faster than rich ones—an unprecedented pace of catch-up. Global poverty rates tumbled. Were that pace of convergence to be sustained, average income in those countries would reach America's in about 44 years.

Regulators worry that the asset-management industry may spawn the next financial crisis

In the 1980s the locus was Latin America; in the late 1990s, Russia and South-East Asia; in 2007-08, American housing and banks. Now, some worry that the next crisis could occur in the asset-management industry.

But the glamorous skyscrapers across the Hudson River are no longer what most excites property investors. Instead, some are betting on a clump of nondescript, low-rise structures around the highway's midpoint: warehouses that serve as "fulfilment centres", dispatching orders for the surging online-retail business.

What a shortage of workers on film sets in Georgia says about America
ATLANTA
THE recent arrival of aliens and murderous youth in suburban Atlanta might seem like cause for concern. But they are merely characters in films shot at the Atlanta Media Campus and Studios, the largest complex of its kind outside California. The lot has hosted the final two instalments of "The Hunger Games" and "The Fifth Wave", an upcoming science-fiction film. What ought to worry local residents is Georgia's inability to produce workers who can build the sets, run the wires or manage the sound for such films. This skills shortage may endanger the $4 billion or so that Jim Jacoby, whose firm plans to redevelop the complex, reckons the film industry could bring to the state this year.
