To see you writing to this so called "project" is a pleasure and comforting. There are very few " good economists" in the world (my opinion f course and yes I am entitled to it. Thank yo!)

When I say there are few good economists, is because I consider most of the thousands that universities spew out every years, just below par. They are a bunch of yahoos that are interested in one thing: making money by every means they can get to do it.

I You are like Mircavad Ceverof or Nasser Shamma on the Oud

Why I make such comparison? Because you have not lost your soiul in the Babilon. You didn't sell out (yet), totally...

One has to put one's heart and soul on the things one does.

I have followed your work and find it always honest and with a degree of integrity.

For a person, like myself, that is part of the underclass and love finances and "the so called economics", I have one small "beef" with you:

Climate change. In my opinion the weather is going through some changes, the environment is totally ebing treated as a toilet bowl, and the list is big...But is the powers to be (including business and academia were really serious about the "so called" climate change, there would be serious work and demands for another type of "economic system".

I live in Vancouver and the transportation system is atrocious. It takes 3 hours to get through transit to go some place that, by car, takes 15 minutes. Weekend is even worse. Car with just one driver alone, is a mainstay of a daily observation, as I wait for Translink buses that are never on time.

On Greece, I totally agred with your assessment that a GReek exit has only been postponed. The German and French governments want to save their banksters.

The best thing is to send the lot of their people responsible for the mess, to jail just like Iceland did.

Your last paragraph gives me some hope that perhaps there is some "economist" with brains, heart and soil left walking the earth.

I can assure you that Jeff Sachs is not one of them. Look at Russia during Yeltsin era and one can just see the "great economist Sachs is".

On another hand one learn a lot about the way Sachs and the Havard boys did business and the outcome by watching: Thieves by Law -

Now the same system that was implanted in Russia after the "privatization of the old USSR factories, and all their assets, are being implanted in the rest of the world and we need some voice of sanity to restore confidence that there is a way out of this mess.

Our children and future generations, as well other kingdom need and deserve a more solidarity planet to live.

Thank you.
