Turkey's 1st intermodal cargo terminal to open in 2020: https://www.dailysabah.com/business/2019/05/13/turkeys-1st-intermodal-cargo-terminal-to-open-in-2020
The project, which has been developed over 10 years, is a version of a port located on land - dry port and it will serve both trucks and trains.A $60 million financing agreement was signed by Arkas Holding, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) Turkey during the EBRD Annual Meeting in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo on Thursday. The financing will be partly financed with loans of $30 million each from the EBRD and the ICBC Turkey.
"The financing agreement for the project, which has around $80 million investment value, shows foreign confidence in Turkey," Kalelioğlu said.
The German logistics company Duisport, which operates the world's largest intermodal cargo terminal, has around one-third of the stakes in Railport, he noted. He said that Railport would be a part of China's "One Belt, One Road" project, also known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), an ambitious project to connect Asia with Africa and Europe via land and maritime networks to increase trade and stimulate economic growth. -

Interview with Robert Solow. #Politics #Economics #ML
Lovely man, charming and intelligent. Yet, extremely shortsighted, narrow, none diverse worldview on display in this interview - exemplary of post-war US intellectual power. The dominance of "Truth is in models, math and technocracy, not in humans and real-world" paradigm. Pure stupid narrow-minded arrogance, disguised as intellectual cleverness."A good 80% of 20th century growth of US economy had to be imputed to the broad concept of technological progress." - Robert Solow
Comment from Youtube by Kemble Walker:
"According to Solow, “Earlier generations are entitled to draw down the pool (optimally, of course!) so long as they add (optimally, of course!) to the stock of reproducible capital” [1]. Throughout his career, Solow has been a consistent apologist for the destruction of our living environment for the accumulation of artificial, man-made rubbish. This ideology has brought human civilization to such a state of existential crisis that we have taken a complete about-turn. The Paris Agreement promises to re-plant massive tracts of the very same forests that Solow vociferously justified destroying for the production of skycrapers, plastic packaging, highways and toxic chemicals.
Such people are embraced by the megalomanic because they make psychopathy sound good. But the horrific consequences of these thoughts will only become more obvious as our natural ecosystems falter and collapse, a process which is already underway. Neo-classical economics is the result of generational hypnosis and dysfunctional neocortex. Unfortunately, many are swayed by accolades. But whatever psychological manipulations are at play in this video, the fact remains that shopping malls do not replace the water cycle; a network of highways does not replace atmospheric oxygen"
