Forgot one quick comment. Regarding Noam's quote, to which to refer to again in your introduction. I have an pretty good illustration of what is meant in the quote. It is taken from the economics world. It is well known that most of the econ...

Michael - Id be interested in having a go at writing a piece for Chapter four. As I work for the National Health Service I was thinking maybe something on that - what do you think? Maybe you would give us a bit more guidance on what you hope for...
