Chris, yes i think this is also a good question and when we say "locally",
it's important
to consider cultural differences and traditions influencing economic

Paul,
I think what is most important for me is that although we have never
met in person, I count you as a friend. I count you as someone who has
taught me important things thanks to our common forum, this listserv.
And it means a lot to me that you (and many others) have a willingness
to engage
Dear Brendan,
Thank you for this humbling reminder.

It has been a really strange few days. I am so proud of my fellow citizens
and that British stiff upper lip is in reality what this is about - just
getting on with it and not making a fuss. The emergency services have been

Hey Everyone,
I find this dialogue about wisdom engaging. Are the leaders of the
world's most powerful economies indeed "wise?" Or perhaps more
intriquing, to me at least, do these same individuals possess some
inordinate level of wisdom so as to be deemed wise? Well, I felt the
subject worthy of
Should economics manage human needs or human needs manage economics ?

I completely agree that there have definitely been much wiser people than
Bush/Blair; however, I think it's 'un-wise' to sit at home and critique and
judge those in power without remembering that we might not be so wise if in
their shoes. I didn't mean to say that simply getting elected makes one

How can you say that the leaders of the G8 (or your leaders) are not wise?
They wouldn't be in the positions they are in if they were not wise. That
isn't to say that they make no mistakes. They are human. I am 'beyond
baffled' at your shallow comment.
Also, remember that Fahrenheit 9/11

If It's a Muslim Problem, It Needs a Muslim Solution
By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN
Yesterday's bombings in downtown London are profoundly disturbing. In part,
that is because a bombing in our mother country and closest ally, England,
is almost like a bombing in our own country.

Kate,
All of the dictionaries I looked in have it pronounced as "pan-JEE-ah". Not
knowing Greek, ancient or modern, I am curious as to the source of the

For me, I'd like to see a coming together of people who have at least one
historic certainty of economics that they want to question. Background to my

Looking forward to seeing you in Halifax!
