храм реставрировали, то 73 статуи покрыли золотом. С тех пор его и
стали называть «Золотым Пещерным Храмом».
Храмов на Ланке пруд пруди. Неподалеку от Золотого Пещер-
ного Храма – Храм Далада Малигава, где хранится Священный Зуб
Будды. Увидеть Зуб простые смертные могут только раз в году – в
лунный месяц Азала (10 дней и ночей
на стыке июля и августа). В это
время происходит великое таинство – драгоценность выносят из хра-
ма. Несметные полчища зевак благоговеют. В обычные дни посмот-
реть святыню могут только монахи.

An A to Z of Economics: A Layman's Guide
• A is for automation bringing widespread, full-scale unem-
ployment as the need for manual labour decreases.
• B is for balance of payments: the discrepancy between the
amount of money paid for imports and the amount of money
received for exports.
• C is for cost of living index: the system of measuring the an-
nual rate of inflation. An index-linked pension scheme is not a
bad thing to have on your side.
• D is for devaluation: (The last resort? A panic measure?) an at-
tempt, by reducing the value of one's currency, to increase the
volume of exports compared to imports.
• E is for expansionist policy: reflationary, pumping money
into the economy, boosting investment and employment.
• F is for fiscal matters: anything to do with the Treasury, par-
ticularly its revenue, especially through taxation.
• G is for GNP or gross national product: the sum total of the
money earned through a nation's goods and services.
• H is for health, hospitals, housing: three outlets for gov-
ernment expenditure on public services. Other large items
of public expenditure include defence, roads and commu-
nications, industry and trade, environmental services and
social security benefits.
• I is for interest rates: a weapon in the Government's armoury,
used to deflate, stimulate or stabilise the economy.
• J is for jobs: a key ball in the economist's juggling act. Are full
employment and a low inflation rate mutually exclusive?
The labour force in Britain can be divided into three categories:
o primary industries (agriculture, fishing, mining, quarry-
ing, forestry)
o production industries (construction, gas, electricity, wa-
ter, transport and manufacturing, etc)
