[00:02]Some economists believe that given its stage of
[00:06]development, China spends too much on expensive items
[00:10]like high-speed rail lines.
[00:13]stem
[00:14]However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved
[00:17]independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it

[00:25]35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.

[01:35]prophesy that oil would soar over $100 per barrel.
[01:40]Index
[01:42]One of the most frequently cited U.S. economic
[01:45]statistics is the Consumer Price Index, commonly (and
[01:49]erroneously) referred to as the cost-of-living index.
