Originally Published 1 year ago — by Business Insider

Saudi Arabia is set to open its first alcohol store in Riyadh, exclusively catering to non-Muslim diplomats who will need to register via an app, obtain permission from the foreign ministry, and adhere to monthly quotas. The move reflects Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's efforts to liberalize the kingdom's image, as part of the Vision 2030 plan, which aims to attract foreign tourism and investment while pivoting away from reliance on fossil fuels.

The Legacy of Berlusconi: From Politics to Fortune.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by UnHerd

Silvio Berlusconi, the former Prime Minister of Italy, was a lifelong optimist who believed that something good was waiting for him just around the corner. He founded Forza Italia in 1994 and won enough seats to form a government. Over the next five years, the country’s economy was further liberalized, and its defense strategy strengthened. Berlusconi's decidedly pro-American and pro-Israel stance induced him to do even more, palpably strengthening the government’s resolve to prevent terrorism.
