Somehow I (not an Economics major) am on the mailing list for the newsletter at Bard's Levy Institute and I haven't read anything as interesting in that letter as your Theory.<BR/><BR/>In reading this, I felt that you have an idea that many people have been searching for in the dark. You've managed to think out the problem and then proposed the foundation for an approach in a better direction that doesn't drift off into a general wringing of hands. <BR/><BR/>I'd like to see more about how it might work in practice (who does what when to what effect).<BR/><BR/>I also wondered in passing to what extent if any a civil endowment approach would undercut existing non-profits and other approaches to "generosity."<BR/><BR/>I haven't yet read your other entries so I'll do that in the next few days.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for telling me about your blog!twothingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513333452358480161noreply@blogger.com
