Dear Platt,

You asked 4 Nov 2003 10:23:29 -0500 for a summary of my 'economics of want
and greed'. Here it is in 99 words:

Economics is (our study of) how we organize that people get what they want.
People do things because they want things. They want what gives their
existence meaning. Most of what they do is involuntary, however. Asked why
they do them, they invent reasons.
Leaders help people organize to get what they want by ... giving good
reasons to want what they can organize for them.
I distinguish 4 types of leadership (types of economy): 'natural', enforced,
entrepreneurial and ideological. Modern society contains a mix.
We should maximize number 4, organization by shared goals and interests,
reducing involuntary economics.

With friendly greetings,

Wim
