No 17, January 2009

My latest newsletter is now out. Read it in full at:

This email summarises its contents.

1. Editorial - Prospects for 2009.
(1) How will Barack Obama balance his role as world
leader with the need to restore his own country to
economic and political stability and self-esteem?
(2) That is one of 2009's "known unknowns".
(3) "Cognitive dissonance" will accelerate the transition
from an obsolete economic paradigm to one fitter for the
21st century.

2. International G20 Meeting in London in April. An important
opportunity to press the UK government, as host, to put
national and international monetary reform on the agenda. A
fully reasoned recommendation to the Parliamentary Select
Committee on the Treasury.

3. Citizen's Income in a Wider Context. If a Citizen's Income
had been in place, it would have been the best way to deal
with the Credit Crunch. One of many points in a paper on
"Sharing the Value of Common Resources", coming out this year
in the journal "Basic Income Studies".

4. Book Review: Molly Scott Cato - Green Economics, An
Introduction to Theory, Policy and Practice. Warmly
recommended.

5. Stop Press. Hazel Henderson diagnoses the economic body
politic.
