THE REAL ‘FREE WORLD’

Bonds

A nyone old enough to remember the Cold War will also remember an imagined place called the “free world.” It was where Westerners believed they lived, while Eastern Europeans, Russians, and Chinese lived behind barbed wire. The description was partly true, insofar as there was barbed wire, and there was a kind of freedom outside the Communist world. But the overall story was a lie. After all, the free world included the Shah’s Iran, Augusto Pinochet’s Chile, and Francisco Franco’s Spain. These countries were anything but free, yet because they were anti-Communist, they were granted membership in the club. Meanwhile, the club’s leader, the United States, regularly proclaimed how free it was, even though its own Black citizens were denied the vote in the American South until 1965. The free world, in other words, was a noble lie. It helped us imagine the world we wanted to live in, and it helped US presidents from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan articulate important truths. They told us that the Berlin Wall was a moral abomination, not a fact of life that we would just have to accept, and they were right.

Slovakia to halve 2nd-class train fares amid rising fuel prices

Earnings

Slovakia will cut second-class passenger train fares by 50 percent for one month starting from Oct. 1, Prime Minister Robert Fico announced Wednesday after a government meeting, reported Xinhua. The measure, approved on the proposal of the Slovakian Transport Ministry, will initially remain in effect for 30 days. Subsequently, it will be reviewed on a monthly basis, Fico said. "Slovakia is currently facing a sharp rise in fuel prices with a direct impact on the economy and households, whose costs for private car transport are increasing. One of the possible solutions is to shift from private car transport to passenger rail transport," the ministry said in its explanatory report. The measure is primarily intended for people who use trains regularly to commute to work or school, or for other daily needs. The 50 percent reduction will apply to all second-class, single-journey tickets, as well as weekly and monthly season tickets. The temporary fare reduction is expected to reduce railway operators' revenues by about 4.3 million euros over the 30-day period, while increasing their costs by around 1 million euros.
