Well, one hope and one nice quote.
1st the Hope, Thomas Friedman visited Saudi Arabia and I am reminded how much I miss my being able to travel around the world. Only by visiting countries and hearing what is going on there from people who live there do you really find out the truth and have insights into where things may be going.
Anyway, there are some good things going on in Saudi Arabia and maybe, just maybe, they will overwhelm the bad things coming out of Saudi Arabia feeding ISIS.
Link to Thomas Friedman's column from Saudi Arabia
Douglas North, a Noble Prize winning economist died. His speciality was the interaction of society on the economy. The key quote is: “Economic history has taught us that the world is an evolving complex system, always changing,” he said.
And my take away is that is why politicians cannot use rigid rule based policies as political economic policy. Forces will change and policy must respond.
Something Saudi Arabia is hopefully learning.
