Clerical nostalgia won't solve unemployment
Article Abstract:
Modern governments face problems which exist on a global scale, rather than merely a national one. Indeed, operating an efficient market economy in today's economic climate goes a long way beyond the capabilities of a single elected government. This trend does not seem to have been acknowledged by the UK Council of Churches in its recent report on possible approaches to combatting unemployment in the UK. It is now important to consider the wider features which allow a market economy to operate effectively.

World's cheapest international phone calls
Article Abstract:
The UK is shortly to become the first country in the world to open the whole of its international telephone traffic to any company which wishes to provide the service. Companies which obtain a licence will be permitted to install their own equipment, construct their own exchanges and sell their services freely. This will create strong competition which will in turn dramatically reduce international telephone call charges.
