Re: Meadows on Smart Growth and Sprawl
I'm keeping it on file, thanks. There's a right nasty lot around here. Plus pro-gambling casino operators, to whom many of the same arguments apply. John [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Meadows on Smart Growth and Sprawl
Meadow's source for the 12 Big Myth's of Growth is Eben Fodor's 1999 big little book called Better not Bigger:How to Take Control of Urban Growth and Improve Your Community. The whole book is excellent. Other chapter titles include Meet the Urban Growth Machine The Truth About Jobs, Housing and Growth Discovering the Real Costs of Growth in Your Community Putting the Brakes on Growth--What Works Also, Fodor has appended a bibliography Urban Growth Management sources and an extensive listing of mainly U.S. organizations concerned with land use. A gold mine of examples to back up your discussions with the growth-mania types. Rudy Rogalsky

Re: It's not the economy, stupid
John: It is quite clear that Bill Clinton was speaking of American election year politics when he uttered the words to which you refer. They have been extended to domestic politics in non election periods and now you want to extend them to international relations. "It's the economy, studio" had nothing to do with the factors that effect Russian or world event. While it is no doubt the case that many regard economics the queen of the social sciences and ascribe "voodoo" powers her incantations, you need to find another straw man to knock about.

Cohen in particular almost stumbles on the recognition that factors other than economics might play a part in world events; but for how long do we have to wait before a modest handful of pundits begins to realise that the greatest damage done by Bill Clinton's presidency was its early endorsement of the "It's the economy, stupid" misunderstanding?
