Clean air or jobs?

[Said1]

Has he ever told anyone? I am going to search his post history.

I don't know, all we get is "I'm a budding economist" or "I'm an economist in traning". I guess that's how they phrased on the match book.

I sent him a PM. I'll see what he says.

 

[Fmr jarhead]

Wow...I think I would go with jobs over clean air...and I think I would choose lower taxes over clean water, too.

Don't people know that is what all conservatives are in favor of?

We would also like to have privatized social security and no health care for the elderly, too. (and corporate tax breaks and no funding for firefighters or public schools, also)

I go to Connecticut College. I took some time off before I went to college and ended up taking some Ph.D courses in economics at the Universidad National in San Jose, Costa Rica (I was chasing a girl). Turns out I really liked the subject so I decided to change my plans and return to school, where I am presently a sophmore and working on a theory piece on sustainable growth in South America.
Too often folks think that enviormental protection and economic growth are mutually exclusive yet the this has proven not to be the case. Moreover, we have known that this is not the case for quite some time. If you would like a bit of interesting, albiet frustrating, reading I would suggest the 1987 Baccus Report published by the UN. It is online and free.

bwahaha. Everyone I know who talks about "sustainable development" turns out to be a kook. This is an environmentalist wacko buzzphrase.

Hey! It's only kooky when he talks aboot it! :spank3:

Arn't you conservatives always complaining about liberals not doing anything about the worlds problems? Funny, when someone try's to end the consistent cycle of boom and bust development they get ridiculed. Hey right wing you like the dictionary look up hypocrite.

How have you personally tried to end the cycle?

 

[Huckleburry]

Yes. If you look at my post history you will notice a big date gap in January. It exists because I was in Costa Rica meeting with governemnt officials, ecologists, developers, economists, and locals to A: determine the solvency of my theory, and B: examine macro and micro policies that would both ensure growth and protect the enivorment and culture.

And who's ecological, and economic theroies would your *theroy* be modeled after, hugh? Not that I really believe you.

The ugly secret about environmentalists is they don't really care about growth. They're an extension of the world communist party who uses envy to stifle the growth of others. Population control is their aim. That ain't "development".

Bend over and smell your own hiney, jackass.

I'm for continual boom. I don't hate humanity like you do. Please don't generalize your own self hatred to the rest of humanity.

And what cultural adaptations with regard to indigenous peoples does your theroy incorporate.

It is a departure from other theories, hence the original part. Most of the assumptions agree with classical theory, except that I have chosen to socialize my actor, rather than rationalize him. I also agree with the underlying premise of Prebisch and the dependency theory school except that I draw very different conclusions from the underlying idea. At its most basic level, I argue that people matter, the environment matters, and that there is a fundamental flaw within the center/periphery relationship that is preventing sustained growth within Latin America. In recognizing the weight of these facts, we can develop a path of growth that departs from standard growth path and in doing so creates value added growth sectors. Thus, when certain trends in global economics play out the country emerges not only squarely in the center, but also with comparative advantage, and economies of scale in the newly created value added sector.
It is a little bit like the person who starts his own business because he cannot find a job anecdote.

sound like a load to me. Could you explain this more. With examples or something. What are you talking about? How are you helping?

 

[Huckleburry]

It's fifty pages long and in need of major revisions. So a paragraph summery is obviously incomplete. When it's done I will post it on the board and let that hacks go to work on it. Until then I have work to do.

You can't tell us generally in a couple sentences? It must be a bunch of shit then.

We'll just assume it's some sort of pseudointellectual weak defense of socialism and/or intentional economic underdevelopment until you can tell us otherwise.

What theories, be specific. What classical theory, pertaining to what?

I also agree with the underlying premise of Prebisch and the dependency theory school except that I draw very different conclusions from the underlying idea.

How? By concluding that post-coloniall governmental sturctures existing in most S. American countries need to be changed? Explain.

there is a fundamental flaw within the center/periphery relationship that is preventing sustained growth within Latin America.

Which is what? Uneven links connecting peripheries and cores?

In recognizing the weight of these facts, we can develop a path of growth that departs from standard growth path and in doing so creates value added growth sectors.

What facts?

Thus, when certain trends in global economics play out the country emerges not only squarely in the center, but also with comparative advantage, and economies of scale in the newly created value added sector.

It's a bit more like an unfinished term paper, get back to work Junior.

Said,
If you have a background in economics I will go into more detail. That you don't know which "classical" theory I am talking about makes me a bit skeptical. Also, I am not going to do your homework for you (indeed I have plenty of my own) Prebisch has been around a while, if you want to know what he has to say then go to the library and look him up.
In a few sentances I argue that the unsustainable nature of oil as the base of the global economic system offers a window of opprotunity to LA. In learning from the lessons of the first and second industrial revolutions these nations can focus on what is next rather than what is. As the world moves off oil and onto somthing else these nations will enjoy comparitive advantage and economies of scale. On top of that idea I layer the importance of social orginization and exogenous shocks to compute a coherent and comprehensive policy recomendation that has its foundings in a new, obvious, but until now, unrecognized theory of how development actually works.

What does the energy source have to do with comparative advantage or economies of scale? What is your theory of how development works that noone has recognized prior to you? What is your policy recommendation? What the hell are you talking about?
