Before Stiglitz... before Keynes, before Adam Smith...

You can find an acknowledgement of how an economy works... and how destructive Conservative's economic policy of "every man for themselves" is...

“If the Kingdom is divided against itself that kingdom cannot stand.” Mark 3:24

This speaks to how important it is to address disparities of wealth within the economy. Economists have a pretty strong grasp now of how disparities of wealth harm an economy over the long run... but this shows that it has been understood for ages.

Conservatives don't even blush when one points out disparities of wealth. They don't see it as a problem--since they hold the incoherent view that an economy is not a collective effort but individuals out on their own with boot-straps pulled up to their knees...

Its nice to wake up with this in your in-box...

I got an email from a human rights activist in Henry County who wants to get together to say hello.

Its nice to know my web efforts pay off in this way. Its why I do it really...

Luke 11:33-36
33 "No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a bushel, but on a stand, that those who enter may see the light. 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is sound, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound, your body is full of darkness. 35 Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light."
