> What's Hot
> Trade Wars: Will Protectionism Win out over Recovery?
> When governments around the world spend vast sums to stimulate  
> their economies, it seems only reasonable for each to invest at  
> home. Why should the American taxpayer pay for steel from Canada  
> when U.S. steelmakers are struggling? So it was hardly a surprise  
> that the $787 billion stimulus plan just signed by President Barack  
> Obama included protectionist language. But economists and political  
> leaders in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere worry that such  
> sentiments threaten free-trade principles that are crucial to any  
> global economic recovery.

> Givology: Using Social Networks to Connect Education with the  
> Developing World
> Nine months ago, a group of Wharton students launched an online  
> site called Givology.org, whose purpose is to raise money for  
> scholarships and education projects in the developing world.  
> Givology's vision, according to chief development officer Catherine  
> Gao, is that of a global community of individuals connected through  
> their belief in the power of education to change people's lives.  
> The group, which so far has attracted more than 200 lenders, has  
> partnerships in China, India, Uganda, Ecuador and Kenya. Gao and  
> Maria Davydenko, the site's chief creative director, spoke with  
> Knowledge at Wharton about Givology and why they each donate more than  
> 10 hours a week to this project.

> Finance and Investment
> Has the Time Come to Nationalize Struggling Banks? Yes, but Carefully
> After a generation of increasingly relaxed regulation of the  
> financial services sector, the very concept seems stunning:  
> Nationalization of banks in Europe and the United States. But with  
> many global banks still teetering on the brink of insolvency --  
> even after rescue efforts that have included multi-billion dollar  
> infusions of capital and other forms of assistance -- a different  
> view is emerging. A growing number of economists -- including, most  
> recently, Alan Greenspan -- now argue that temporary government  
> takeovers of the most deeply troubled institutions may be the only  
> remaining solution.

> Innovation and Entrepreneurship
> A World Transformed: What Are the Top 30 Innovations of the Last 30  
> Years?
> Is it possible to determine which 30 innovations have changed life  
> most dramatically during the past 30 years? That is the question  
> that Nightly Business Report, the Emmy Award-winning PBS business  
> program, and Knowledge at Wharton set out to answer to celebrate NBR's  
> 30th anniversary this year. The list includes innovations from the  
> world of technology, health care, energy and even finance. Can you  
> guess which one is No. 1?

> Katrina, 9/11, Global Recession: Moving Beyond Old Thinking about  
> New Risks
> Disasters just aren't what they used to be, according to experts at  
> a recent Wharton risk management conference titled, "The Irrational  
> Economist." Indeed, they are a lot worse. With costs adjusted for  
> inflation, all of the 20 most-costly disasters from 1970 through  
> 2007 occurred after 1987, and half came after 2001. One speaker  
> predicted "an accelerating rhythm of large-scale catastrophes" such  
> as financial crises, problems with food and energy, disease  
> pandemics, terrorism and natural disasters.

> The Shopper of Tomorrow: Trading Down
> Attention Shoppers: We no longer have the following items -- "a  
> sense of entitlement," "conspicuous consumption" and "a golden  
> period of luxury." At least that is the word from Wharton faculty  
> and other experts who point to a new logic that is defining not  
> just what U.S. consumers buy, but how they view the shopping  
> experience.

> What's Behind the Drive for Clean Tech?
> Twenty years from now, will Americans light their homes with solar  
> power or wind? Plug their cars into an electric grid? Replace oil- 
> based petroleum with bio-fuels made from algae? Betting on which of  
> those technologies will take hold is hard enough in any  
> environment, but especially so given today's financial crisis.  
> However, this didn't stop entrepreneurs and venture capitalists at  
> the recent Wharton Entrepreneurship Conference from discussing  
> upcoming changes in the energy marketplace, the impact of the new  
> stimulus program and other energy-related issues.

> Strategic Management
> 'Goals Gone Wild': How Goal Setting Can Lead to Disaster
> Despite evidence that ambitious goal setting can hurt productivity,  
> damage a company's reputation and violate ethical standards, its  
> use has become endemic in American business practice and  
> scholarship, even spilling over to the debate on how to improve  
> America's public schools. A new paper by Wharton operations and  
> information management professor Maurice E. Schweitzer and three co- 
> authors documents the hazards of corporate goal setting and  
> concludes that it is overprescribed.
