The Greatest Socio-economic Experiment Ever
It is not often that you get a chance to perform a "live" natural experiment with human subjects. The effects of chemical substances or genetical experiments come to mind.

Heading for the Sunset
We are living longer but not retiring later. A delightful prospect, if you can afford it. The thing is, no one knows just how to finance this, nor how to convince people to work longer.
