I am interested in working as a paid blogger, a columnist, a commentator. (This in addition to finding someone interested in publishing my novel or producing my screenplay.)
If any of what I've written has been helpful to large corporations or powerful nations, I encourage them to send me a tricked out laptop and to tuck their respective currency into the envelope along with the thank you note.
Slim
ps. If I have been truly helpful to the powerful, the less fortunate will have benefited from the advice in the monographs I've posted.

The EuroVisioning Process: Shared Visions or Divisions
As I've been following the EuroCrats, a few questions have come to mind.
Is there no SOP?
Is there no metaphorical algorithm?
There are cause and effect relationships in economics.
There seems to be one of two possibilities.
That actions in one country (or agency, e.g. The EuroBank) will have an effect on another country's economy, those actions will either hurt or help the other country's economy.
If such actions are helpful, they should be taken.
If such actions are not helpful, then this EuroTopian vision won't work because the policies to benefit two countries are mutually exclusive.
Does no one have a pencil and a piece of paper?

There are cause and effect relationships in economics.
There seems to be one of two possibilities.
That actions in one country (or agency, e.g. The EuroBank) will have an effect on another country's economy we can expect the following:
That those actions will either hurt or help the other country's economy.
If such actions are helpful, they should be taken.
If such actions are not helpful, then this EuroTopian vision won't work because the policies to benefit two countries are mutually exclusive.

Don't be so EuroCratic
Will Europe Survive its Efforts to Survive?
The EuroProcess seems to be one that stopped in midstream. The grand Eurotopian Vision. (If you can believe the stuff you read in the Wall Street Journal, or the people they quote.)
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Apparently not. The Euro is a concept based on the goal that Europe would function as a single economy. Op. Cit, The US. 50 states, one currency. I presume that the intention was a single government, a single currency: all are one and attuned to the spheres.
As Yogi Berra once said, "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is." You can promote unity or you can promote diversity, but you can't do both.
There is no recipe for Stone Soup and no one is interested in eating it, anyway.
My interest is self-serving. When I watch channel 13 I want to hear people saying things, like two and six, tuppence, and a fiver ( five pound note.)
For Europe to survive, as in the individual member nations to do well, there will have to be a re-scripting. Preferably without the one who wrote the treatment for the disaster they face today.
Recognise the separate countries, recognise the separate economies with their respective industries, strengths and weaknesses, assets and liabilities, see what each country needs to fix its problems; see what assistance each country can offer those who have problems [preferably without creating new ones for themselves or others.] and begin to (herein lies the rub) negotiate in good faith with one another.
Speaking in the vernacular of an American: Everybody's gotta get somethin'.
Some EuroCrats give the appearance of being able to contribute. I will suggest Chancellor Merkel, Madame Lagarde, and some guy from one of the EuroBanks who said something sensible in a WSJ article. However, there is a need for some outside objectivity.
Marketing: Find a Need and Fill It.
Job Opening: Analyst to assist EuroCrats in their effort to clean up their mess.
Responsibilities: Too many
Compensation: Not enough
Satisfaction: Fleeting
To apply: Don't bother, They don't want to hear your opinion, they want to hear their opinion.

Slim
