Evolution

Riding the Storm

In India, the evolution of indirect taxation reached a historic milestone with the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) from 1 July 2017.

Social Safety

The notions of social security and social insurance systems have their roots in the evolution of the welfare state concept. In contrast, earlier ‘laissez-faire’ or police states did not prioritize these aspects, focusing solely on maintaining order.

Relationships lend a purpose to life

In the tapestry of human existence, relationships form the intricate threads that bind us together, creating patterns of meaning, purpose, and profound joy. While the act of forming connections may seem effortless, true artistry lies in nurturing and sustaining these bonds through life's myriad challenges.

Bitcoin’s Moment

Bitcoin’s climb past the $100,000 mark is a watershed moment in the evolution of crypto-currencies, symbolising their growing acceptance as a legitimate asset class.

Four years on…

The evolution of the modern state premised on Rousseau’s theory of social contract has followed varied trajectories. Many scholars believe the Scandinavian model of the welfare state is its apogee. Others argue in favour of the Anglo-American model, claiming it is more effective in promoting prosperity.

Connecting to our past through food

Looking to the food of the past reveals that living a balanced life has always involved being mindful of everything that goes into our bodies. We may not live in Al Andalus or 10th-century Baghdad, but it is possible to recreate the aromas and flavours that animated our ancestors and were familiar to them. In this way, food is not only part of our present but also our connection to the past.
