Hi Michael, I just had a chance to read this. A very interesting survey of your own formidable 'oeuvre. Just a couple of thoughts: - In at least a couple of instances, you classify university administrators as superfluous labor. I hope they will not be part of your audience! Or they may not appreciate being classed together with investment bankers! - I thought one of the overall themes of your work was what you refer to as the Goldilocks Principle as in a certain amount of competition is healthy in keeping businesses honest, but too much will drive them into bankruptcy etc. Perhaps you may wish to elaborate on this some more because there are many other instances of a similar principle that you hint at e.g. intellectual property, free trade etc. There are also several typos, but I assume that's not relevant for a draft for a talk. If you still want a list of these, let me know. -raghu. -- Did you hear about the dyslexic Satanist?
