>>> Economics, for all its show of being empirical is really just politics, and politics is really just philosophy. >>> Are you willing to?

You're painfully right. I 100% agree. There lies the issue. I have the philosophy right, but the opportunity and skills to fight for it, well, it's much tougher. If only one could contribute to that like on open source projects ('cos there, I contribute, I find time and energy)

But I'm not guilty :-)

Well I think you can make opportunities through persistence and sacrifice and for a given level of intelligence and time, all skills can be learnt.

However the will to do it requires a good enough why... and if you have more pressing whys than you just won't start.

Best I can do for the time being is vote.
