Your Questions About Colliers International

admin answers:

Summarize his position:

Is it a credible solution? In theory his arguments are compelling. In reality it fails in the implementation. As Collier mentions himself: “Unless we have an informed society, politicians will get away with gestures. Things that look good, but don’t work.” To understand what he means, just watch the current debate among politicians about economic policy in the US!

There are other problems with Collier’s plan, for example, the size and direction of international capital flows and their consequences on domestic economies. However, this goes way beyond this forum. A good place to start is to study the Asian Crisis of 1997.

HEINRICH SCHLUSNUS (1888-1952) was the premier German baritone in Germany for over 40 years, particularly noted for his singing of Verdi. He was also a fine singer of lieder. His records span the acoustic and well into the electric era, throughout the Third Reich and beyond. They are all of the highest calibre.
The celebrated Jewish baritone, JOSEPH SCHWARTZ (1880-1926) was born in Riga but apecialized in the German repertoire, though he also sang other roles such as Escamillo in CARMEN. His records are well sought after and for good reason. This was a great artist. MARGARETE MATZENAUER (née Temesvar 1881-1963). After an initial success in Europe, she sang at The Metropolitan for 20 years ERNESTINE SCHUMANN-HEINK (1861-1936) A very different singer was the German soprano ELISABETH SCHUMANN (1885-1952), here seen as MIGNON. Her unique lyric soprano was perfect for Richard Strauss operas, for instance, as well as for lieder. Jewish-German soprano LOTTE LEHMANN (1888-1976), deservedly sang alongside such greats as Tauber and Chaliapin during the 1920s, but the appearance of the Nazis forced her to move to the USA where she triumphed again for further decade. She was as fine an exponent of lieder and operetta as opera with a warm soprano sound that appealed to everyone. Http://www.spats.demon.co.uk/GreatGermanSingers.html
