Title: RE: [Futurework] Economic/psychological/emotional Choices

Ray,   Or like a young man's attitude towards sex!   Or, like the young and old attitudes to anything.   Which is the point of the two assumptions - they are useful.   Harry   ******************************************** Henry George School of Social Science of Los Angeles Box 655  Tujunga  CA  91042 Tel: 818 352-4141  --  Fax: 818 353-2242 http://haledward.home.comcast.net ********************************************    From: Ray Evans Harrell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 1:09 PM To: Harry Pollard; 'Selma Singer'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Futurework] Economic/psychological/emotional Choices Nice exchange.  However, I can't resist pointing out that your two assumptions sound like an old man's attitude towards sex.   REH     ----- Original Message ----- From: Harry Pollard To: 'Selma Singer' ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 27, 2003 3:14 PM Subject: RE: [Futurework] Economic/psychological/emotional Choices Selma, As always with your posts - interesting. However, I doubt that it is significant. That doesn't mean they are wrong - simply that their research is stating the obvious. So, it might be useful for those people who, for a fee, tell you what is good for you. It seems that everything they have done is covered by the two assumptions that precede Political Economy. "That people's desires are unlimited." "That people seek to satisfy their desires with the least exertion." These assumptions were emphasized almost two centuries ago - and they were only assumptions. That is, they were self evident truths that helped the scientist to proceed in the study of human behavior.  <snip>   --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
