Elena Leontjeva and LFMI/December 3, 2022December 6, 2022

Some time ago, the Lithuanian Ministry of Energy issued recommendations for the public sector, households, and businesses on how to save energy. The recommendation was to disconnect hot water in administrative premises and reduce heating to 19 degrees and cooling to 27 degrees. They also advised public officials to work from home.

If Your Flight Is Delayed, It Is Not Pilot’s Fault

Elena Leontjeva and LFMI/September 14, 2022

In today’s world, there is a shortage of workers everywhere. And we’re used to it. But when staff shortages hit airlines, it comes as a shock to many. A lack of pilots and flight attendants, a lack of baggage handlers. Every day there are hundreds of suitcases that don’t reach their final destination.

Elena Leontjeva and LFMI/September 13, 2022September 14, 2022

A second initiative to collect signatures to support a petition calling for an unconditional, universal basic income (UBI) for all citizens in the European Union (EU) has ended. The required one million signatures were never reached. Why?

Elena Leontjeva and LFMI/February 14, 2022February 14, 2022

Four Waves of Inflationary Taxes, Are You Ready?

Elena Leontjeva and LFMI/January 14, 2022 /Leave a comment

Inflation is often referred to as a tax, imposed without parliamentary approval, without legislation and without considering the consequences. Today’s inflation is special: printing money seemed to be pretty much the only way to respond to the pandemic and to finance rising public spending.

State and Citizen: To Serve or to Rule?

Elena Leontjeva and LFMI/November 25, 2021November 25, 2021 /Leave a comment

‘To serve or to rule?’ – this is a dilemma we face as we reflect on the fundamental principles of “the scope of powers [of the state] shall be limited by the Constitution” and “state institutions shall serve the people” on the occasion of the Constitution Day.

State Can Print Money, Not People

Elena Leontjeva and LFMI/November 24, 2021 /Leave a comment

Governments have responded to the pandemic by printing money, thus disrupting the usual economic relationships. Financial capital, which was long been regarded as a most-demanded resource, has lost its position to raw materials which in turn have lost to labor force.

Lithuanian Government’s Green Turn to Green Deal?

Elena Leontjeva and LFMI/November 23, 2021 /Leave a comment

The Lithuanian government seems to have a clear vision and arguments about how we should move towards the green economy. More importantly, everyone is invested in making an actual change happen. Increased public awareness is already impacting our habits and behaviors.
