A newly prominent field of behavioral economics on page 11. I believe in human behavior as a major factor in Economics.

Economics is "Jingji" in Pin Yin. "Jingshijimin" 4 Chinese characters to indicate global concern for the folks on earth.

Page 65: Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman said"We are living through a dark age of macroeconomics in which the wisdom of the ancients has been lost. Perhaps we should remember Adam Smith as a professor of moral philosophy. Confucius/Mencius should be studied as well as ancient sages.

Andrews Lo of MIT suggested cause and effect studies. That mean ETIOLOGY as I sent my prior blogs. He also stated "reconciling adaptive market hypothesis" as LINGONOMICS as the previous blogs as well.

Page 67: "The seismic events of the past two years were a blow to credibility but may prove to be a spur to creativity."
