(Re)discovering...

the past. Who said that travelling back in time is not possible? No I can't go back to school - they wouldn't have me, but I can discover deep almost forgotten memories , let alone discover now 10-20 years later things I have missed baaack then.

Latest such discovery: Kim Wilde. Not bad for her kind of music - not my cup of tea or to quote a friend 'I would listen to it, but I would not buy it' (see economics).

Obvious 80s influence, but it is impressive: which of the today's pop-divas will be issuing albums 25 years from now? We shall see..

Desires...

in an imperfect world. That is really what economics are.

Yes there are truck loads of definitions, works etc. but based on a couple of books and certain discussions with friends it sinks in more and more.

The world is imperfect and it has to be - nothing in the universe is. Just physics...

Therefore economics which are based on scarcity - take scarcity away and there are no economic problems (well maybe overpopulation)- will be imperfect as well.

And who needs perfection ? No one really - the key is reaching a state where one can say good enough.That sounds plausible. If only it wasn't as possible as someone catching their shadow...
