Over the years I have collected together lots of various study bits & pieces
which are hard to find elsewhere, so here is my page of study stuff. I have
also shoved my essays, dissertation and lecture slides here for anyone who
might find them useful - certainly they get downloaded a lot especially
during term time which suggests my essays end up as other people's essays -
if that's what you're here for, then good luck to you! You may also find
the
resources for my book Freeing Growth: How The World Can Grow Four Times
Faster Sustained useful as a list of references. My book is about
Neo-Capitalism, my new Economic system based on testing of a new kind
of Economic model derived from my work on Tn.
Finally,
you may find the diary
entries of summer 2006 containing notes on my post-Capitalism research of
interest
