Pride in being both barbadian and being of african descent. Let me throw out another question. In the 1970s professor Laurel Thatcher ulrich coined the phrase well behaved women seldom make history. [laughter] tell me if you agree. What rules did your women break and what rules did they follow and why . [laughter] well, for angela davis i think despite the fact that her upbringing was really one of the ways in which she was influenced and became amenable to the ideals of communism and the left, her mother being an activist, and she was also politicized in college as well, angela davis sort of coming into her own, she was born in 1944 and so she was growing up at the time of the emergence of the civil rights and black power movements. And in a lot of ways she stepped aside from some of the ideals of nationalism, the strong black identity politics, and she infused that with a sense of deep class analysis. So she was very strong in terms of the connection between to oppression and class,
Welcome to the pulse. We are live at bloombergs European Headquarters in london. Francine lacqua is setting up in the swiss alps in preparation for the jobless delusion the davos deluge that will be happening. Got for you . We these guys are not exactly driving ferraris. This is a vehicle that maxes out at 12 miles per hour, but it is the most expensive ride you will find in davos. We will get on board with hans nichols. And we will consider the emerging markets, a big theme to run through today. Why couture is still high fashion. Inside the houses that make this business work. To shampooighend and soaps.

Welcome. Youre watching the pulse live from bloombergs European Headquarters. Were here in london. Im guy johnson. Im francine lacqua. This is our top story. G. D. P. Came in ahead of economist estimates and dashed some hopes for large scale stimulus in worlds second largest economy. Bloomberg economist tom joins us from beijing with details. First of all, are we being overly aggressive when we said there was a surprise on the upslope . This is still the weakest data we have seen since 2009. I think that is a good way of looking atice, guy. 7. 3 growth in the Third Quarter was slightly better than 7. 2 expectations but only really marginally better. If you dig into the details of what is behind that number, what you see is continued weakness in the domestic economy. Real estate has to have been the biggest headache for chinas leaders, continued contraction in sales and property. That is being offset by the u. S. Consumer, a little bit little forms of exports a little stronger in the Th
As we begin this new legislative year, we can now look ahead from sandy, ahead from the national recession, to a brighter day for new jersey. The author bern williams once said, man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit. For all i have seen and experienced as your governor in this extraordinary year, one experience will be indelibly etched in my memory. Her name is ginjer. As i walked around the parking lot of the Fire Department in Port Monmouth in one of the days soon after sandy had laid waste to so much of our state, i saw so many of the scenes that i had come to expect in the aftermath of the storm neighbors helping neighbors, food being prepared for the hungry, First Responders helping the homeless. Then i met 9yearold ginjer. Having a 9yearold girl myself, her height and manner of speaking was immediately familiar and evocative. Having confronted so many crying adults at that point i felt ready to deal with anything. Then ginjer looked at me, began to cry and
