man who talked on his mobile phone one day about picking strawberries said that
when he used his phone the next day to open Toutiao, a news aggregator driven by
artifi- cial intelligence (AI), his news was all about strawberries. His post on the
experience went viral in January. Toutiao denied it was snooping but conceded,
blandly, that the story revealed a growing public “awareness of privacy”. Cultural

for privacy, yinsi, has a negative connotation of secrecy. Things that in the West
are taboo in conversation between strangers—for example, asking about the other
person’s salary—are often discussed in China. Such traditions inform behaviour in
the digital world. The Boston Consulting Group says that in a dozen countries it
surveyed in 2013, three-quarters of responData dents outside China stated that
caution was necessary when sharing personal information online. But only half of
those polled in China agreed. In 2015 Harvard Business Review, a journal, tried to
estimate what value people in different countries attached to personal data. It
found that Chinese would pay less to protect data from their government-issued
identification cards and credit cards than people from America, Britain and Germany.
More than 60% of respondents in a large survey conducted by China Youth Daily, a

their personal information to be shared with third parties. Chinese law did not

Ms Byrne suggests, but also because swearing tends to be associated with sexuality.
Since women are judged more harshly than men for their sexual adventures, bad
language leads to assumptions of bad behaviour. Stoicism in the face of pain may
seem noble, but swearing a blue streak is apparently more helpful. A study of
volunteers forced to plunge their hands in ice-cold water found that those who
swore kept their hands submerged for longer than those who were stuck bellowing a
neutral word. By making people feel more aggressive— and therefore, perhaps, more
powerful— swearing seems to improve the tolerance of pain. A self-described
swearing evangelist, Ms Byrne is certainly bullish on the merits of bad words. But
in her eagerness to prove how “fucking useful” they are, she sometimes overplays
her hand. She argues that swearing makes people less likely to be physically
violent, but offers little evidence to back this up. She commends the way piss-
taking can help people work together more effectively, but largely overlooks the way
this approach can alienate minorities. She also occasionally trades empiricism for
hyperbole, as when she declares: “I don’t think we would have made it as the
world’s most populous primate if we hadn’t learned to swear. ” Still, “Swearing Is
Good for You” is an entertaining and often enlightening book. It may not quite
stand up the bold claim of its title, but Ms Byrne’s readers are sure to come away

Special report What’s in a name? Defining emerging markets A self-fulfilling

prophecy Oct 5th 2017 WHAT COUNTS AS an emerging market? Broadly speaking, an
economy that is not too rich, not too poor and not too closed to foreign capital.
The term was coined by Antoine van Agtmael in 1981 when he was working for the
International Finance Corporation (IFC), a division of the World Bank. He hoped to
create what he had named: a set of promising stockmarkets, lifted from obscurity,
thereby attracting the investment they needed to thrive. At the time, it was hard
work even to compare the performance of stockmarkets in places like Brazil, India
and South Korea. The IFC, having collected data on ten such markets, felt that
foreign investors might take to these boondock bourses, but would be put off by the
risk of investing in a single company or the trouble of diversifying across many
firms and places. The answer, the IFC concluded, was to provide them with a one-
stop, broadly representative “Third-World Equity Fund”. When Mr Agtmael pitched the
idea to a group of fund managers at an event hosted by Salomon Brothers, some were
sceptical, other intrigued. One liked the idea but hated the name. So Mr Agtmael
spent the weekend dreaming up the term “emerging markets”, with which he hoped to
evoke “progress, uplift and dynamism”. That label proved wildly successful. The
first such fund, pioneered by Capital Group in 1986, included only four countries.
The most popular equity benchmark, the MSCI EM index, started in 1988 with ten and
now spans 24. Many people complain that the category has become an indiscriminate
grab-bag, throwing together economies at utterly different stages of development,
such as Taiwan and Pakistan. But the group was never all that homogeneous. The ten
markets in the original MSCI index included the Philippines but also Portugal, a
country seven times as rich (at market exchange rates). Indeed, the markets are now
more tightly correlated than they were in the early years, according to MSCI
(though less so than in the crisis years from 2008 to 2013). The emerging-markets
group has also become more prosperous and more Asian. The World Bank now classifies
nine of MSCI’s 24 benchmark economies as high-income. (These economies, which
include Taiwan, South Korea, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and several members of
the European Union, will not feature prominently in this special report.) Asia
accounts for almost 70% of the group’s combined GDP and commands a similar weight
in the equity index. From Hong Kong “I can cover 60% of the market cap within four
hours’ flight,” says Sean Taylor of Deutsche Bank Asset Management. Some countries
are much more important to investors than their economic weight would suggest,
thanks to their unusually deep and open stock- or debt markets. The best example is
South Africa: the combined value of shares on its stockmarket is more than three
times its GDP. The biggest company listed on its stockmarket is Naspers, mainly
because it has a 33% stake in Tencent, a Chinese internet giant. As well as
progress, uplift and dynamism, emerging markets have traditionally featured crises,
defaults and slumps. Many have been laid low by profligate governments,
overstretched companies, mismatched balance-sheets, fickle foreign capital or
volatile commodity prices. Such setbacks can take a toll on their long-term
prospects, preventing them from graduating to the ranks of mature markets. Poor
economies typically become “emerging markets” because they have grown quickly. They
remain “emerging” because they have not managed to grow steadily. → Mixed-income
myths: The middle-income trap has little evidence going for it
