Lovely post as usual, Tom,
On one point though:
>4. In what sense are "creating wealth" and "creating jobs" alternative foci
>for government?
And anyway, am I right in thinking the whole notion of the accelerator (or
has this notion too been consigned to the dustbin of history in academic
economics?) inextricably links the two (for however one might wish to link
them, linked they most certainly must be)?
Just wondering,
Rob.
