Say it with Cement

Cemex has been advertising an awful lot in The Economist. It’s funny to me to see companies that advertise there. Their classified ads tend to be of two sorts: official announcements of things like job openings at the World Institue of Econometrics, or privatizations of Rwandan banks, and then ads for “wealth preservation” with “privacy” through “offshore investments.” And of course the other ads are for luxury items and for companies that want people to invest in them and boost their share prices.
