So is business a form of warfare? If it is who are the pawns and who are the kings? Let’s look at the facts and past the 1980s clichs that chant: Greed Is Good and Business Is War as those chanting these phrases are often on the sidelines and not gifted enough to be on the field and playing and have no choice but to live vicariously through those they are jealously watching.

major problems with money exchanging. Although this form of financial
transaction was prevalent in many parts of the world at the time, it was

Africa and China have been trading partners for centuries. But in recent years, the level and intensity of their relationship have increased dramatically.

The Department of Commerce is learnt to have written to the Department of Revenue on the issue and is ...
