Changing Central Park to Procter and Gamble Park? No way! Memmories.... I was nearly robbed there. Hmmm...if enough robberies take place there, maybe P&G isn't such a bad name?

And I think your posting today from Friedman also indicates another failing of market economies. When public space is sponsored then in some profound way it is no longer public but some sort of public private partnership which is something quite different. Changing NY's central part to Proctor and Gamble park changes everything. The park is still there but it is different in some way. arthur May 12, 2012 This Column Is Not Sponsored by Anyone By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN PORING through Harvard philosopher Michael Sandel's new book, "What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets," I found myself over and over again turning pages and saying, "I had no idea."

Has anyone on this list read the book "Why Nation's Fail?" It seems to me that they have made the basic case that I have been making for years that economies based in simple extractive greed are ultimately wasteful, destructive of human live and doomed to fail in the long run no matter what Western political story or profession they are grounded in. Inclusive systems are concerned with balance and supply a logic for justice, morality and equality as a way of society's being able to take advantage of the talent capital of it's children. In the "Extractive" systems the lack of balance and morality ultimately not only kills the human soul, and the planet, but resembles nothing more than an alien space ship that came to earth to steal and then to go home when they've stripped everything away including the beauty, the mountains, forests and things that makes life viable here.
