Economics for Beginners
Interested in economics, but don't know where to start? Â Here's a selection of books for the general reader.
uk.bookshop.orgThis is exactly how I feel about grant applications. Then again, I understand many colleagues in fact do the research first, apply for funding second, and then use the new grant to work on the next project.
How on earth does anyone write a book proposal without first having written the whole book? The last proposal I sent off was outdated within about two days as I decided I needed to move things around, add another section etc. In other news, writing a book continues to be an awful experience.
Absolutely thrilled to meet former British PM Gordon Brown in Kirkcaldy yesterday, thanks to The Adam Smith Global Foundation. It turns out our books are very similar in spirit, although we come at the topic from different directions. The spirit of Adam Smith lives!
What a picture!

Happiness and the good life - Stockholm University
The course discusses the different answers that practical philosophy has to offer to the question of what makes a human life good for the one who lives it.
www.su.seIf you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your s***, then you deserve it. â Frank Zappa
Virtues we acquire, just as we acquire crafts, by having first activated them. For we learn a craft by producing the same product that we must produce when we have learned it; we become builders, for instance, by building, and we become harpists by playing the harp. â Aristotle
No one should postpone the study of philosophy when he is young, nor should he weary of it when he becomes mature, because the search for mental health is never out of season. â Epicurus
Monday I start teaching a course on #Happiness & the Good Life. To complement the somewhat ahistorical and unphilosophical science of happiness, we'll start with the rich philosophical tradition from Socrates & Aristotle onward. Here are the epigraphs on the syllabus —ïž
