You know, even with Linda, i was hoping someday to begin "globanomic" programs at Indiana University and the University of Pennsylvania--one for the m.p.a. type student, the other for the m.b.a. type programs.
The reason i thought about mentioning that now was i had some restrictions put in that probably are not as important anymore. Regardless, i have an outline and everything else to get something like that started. Indiana first, then Penn second.
The reason i mention this is for this reason. No one has yet to completely do a full scoring for the Global National Hierarchy of Needs. I thought that would be a good exercise for a group of 60 students, half from outside the united states, which then would be secregated somewhat equally into ten groups with six students each. One of their six-month assignments will to come up with a Global National Hierarchy of Needs score for a group of 68 nations of the world. There will be other people developing macro-globanomic models, but i would like to be involved in working with the first group of university students who started building his or her understanding of Globanomics.
I had planned a similar, but different program for Penn. Instead of worry about the global/national scoring, we would start working on the development of the Electronic Global Stock Market Board (the EGSB). Again, working with the first university students in the world to do such a thing--knowing again, full well that similar models were being developed outside of the university program.
In fact, the end result of any decent macro-globanomic model should fall within a fairly narrow range of the results in the university models. If, they don't, then things must really be screwed up.
ps. I always thought the Federal Government could be the ones to so-call "fund" the programs for the two universities, including hospitalities for a one-year stay at each.
ps2. but you know i have always been a dreamer.
Just read about your wife. So sorry to hear this devestating news. Maybe she can pull some strings in heaven to get globanomics into the maintream!
I think she has already started working on it.
