Brian,

You choose your words - which doesn't mean you get them right.

Would you say that ohm, volt, and ampere are the "tenets" of the electrician's "creed".

And when you parse, are you using the tenets of your creed.

Probably not.

The terms you refer to as tenets are the labels given to well thought out defined concepts.They are used not in a creed but in a science.

They are delightfully chosen so nothing can be in more than one category.

They make possible some useful excursions into the economic analysis.

So, now you know something you previously didn't know, which is good.

Hi Harry,
If people buy things because they want them, why do people who sell
things spend billions of dollars advertising? Are they afraid that
buyers might forget that they want their product, sevices? Why do
advertisers hire the best psychology grads to work for their firms? Are
these people more gifted at reminding people what they want? Or is the P
T Barnum quote at play here?

Take care,
Brian
ps I really want to read your views on adjunct vs tenured profs but I'm
not willing to pay for them. I'm hoping that you will freely share them
like you do with the tenets of your creed: Land, Labour, Capital and
Wealth.
