One of sustainability's biggest paradoxes is the cities of Europe that energise me as a tourist seem so civilised but history shows Europe hosted 2 world wars and Putins Euro of 2022 may be no safer than Stalin's or Hitler's 1920's E. At Queenofhearts.city we wonder if you could time machine to one year in E-history what year would you choose and what report for humanity would you search for? WHAT GOOD CAN PEOPLES UNITE IF THEY HAVE FIRST ACCESS TO 100 TIMES MORE TECH PER DECADE? Back in 1951 my father found this biggest scoop of his life at EconomistDiary.com. It was given to him by Hungarian-American John Von Neumann at Princeton
2006: In dads last 2 years age 84 he hosted a 40 person debate at Royal Automobile Club, a few minutes walk from the Royal Palaces - if the greatest human development advance of his lifetime since meeting Von Neumann was networked by a 1billiongirls (Asian Village mothers 2020-1970) - did anyone in the west or at The UN really know how they did this? 16 journeys to Bangladesh by Graduate Journalists has chalked up 2 resources ABEDmooc.com & Yunusmooc.com where both women empowerment luminaries requested we open learning networkers interpret C for Cooperation (not C for Certification) . We enjoyed more than a little help from many people such as Japan's Ambassador. As Diarists out of St James and alumni of Brother James Wilson have recorded: The UK Royal family left most of the human development of two thirds of beings in Asia to Prince Charles. As a 16 year old he had been assigned the duty to attend the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. 3 happy-good natured seeds were planted from that day on - good relations between Japan Empire and some of Europe's Royals; Sony as Japan's first inward investment in Europe; the birth of whether worldwide sports celebrities are tele2's blessing or a curse as next generations greatest heroines (Tokyo was the first satellite broadcast to a global audience). What if it turns out that in the 21st C European royals value sustainability of millennials more than soundbitimg politicians or professional bureaucrats whose Intel rules have no mathematical or human transparency.

my rough recollection, apart from being in same class year as my sister in cambridge, mark has worked near top of london royal society for 30 years as well as caring about corporate governance legislation-a problem london has always wrestled with since east india corporation invented slavery -of course being diaspora scot i still dont think londoners really value adam smith moral sentiments world trade the way he mapped- lets settle that at cop26 glasgow nov once we know whether dark clouds hanging over washington dc have evaporated- like many club networks people may not agree but i see royal society as only place london great and good discuss the future openly with peoples including students across all colleges- it certainly has interesting evening talk series published Events | Royal Society



is that part of your secret mark? by the way mark did you ever connect sarah butler sloss - daughter of lord sainsbury -the only family on the economist board who fully understood the first 150 years of research at the economist - host of prince charles microsolar laureates/-also i went to school with david attenborough's son- know who in bbc studios responsible for marketing sdg impacts of attenboroughs 60 years of nature broadcasting- davids brother richard now parted directed movie gandhi and used to help coordinate londons oldest gandhi society which is rooted in gandhis last roundtable in london at quakers friends house - the only affordable meeting hall capable of hosting 1000 plus people open spaces- my neighbor harrison in maryland is origin of 1000 people hackathons in days when people's human networking not mobile texts had to do the linkingin

my understanding is next big review of that in vienna early april but i only have pieces of info-does anyone know who runs duke of edinburgh award scheme- i did some pro bono work for their windsor branch around 1995 but expect 25 years ago contacts long gone-the good thing is since prince charles attended tokyo olympics in 1964 both heads of empire i have seen their responsibilities to the two thirds of humans ie asians the same way even if politicians havent

its a pity gandhi and montessori didnt flourish through 1950s india bottom up- grandad sir kenneth kemp was mumbai's other bar of london barrister between 1925-47 - sir kens last job to write up legalese adopted by london for india's independence - what a messy communications world 1947 was - wish it was less messy in dc and brexited london and virused asia today-

the immoral mr barnier - and other misleading cases of supreme bureaucracy

i love adam smith as a source of oxford union debate - eg this story of why slavery was hard for the barnier kind of  bureaucrat to end -related references
81ways.com 1461.world valuetrue.com economistrefugee.com

of course i cant parse this argument without positioning in withing the overacrhing framework of moral sentiments

so what has the likes of mr barnier got to do with it
around 2102 i flew into convergeces paris - a summit where community banking was uspposed to debate barnier on austerity- instead of being a real keynote speaker hundreds of delegates ad the right to expect he ead out a 5 mo=inute speech- said sorry i must fly back to bruseels now

that this person is still in the middle of ediating trad ebtween eg britain and eu must be causing jean monet to role in his grave as well as my afther nprman macrae the only jouranlist atmessina and the supporter of the 2 original ideas- mix up iron and settl ,arest fo fvrance and germany so much that never go to war again- free sall entreprsiues to entreprenurially trade across european borders valuing the frenc orign of the e-word which i dare Say had sought adam smiths principles for designig how healrhy societies generate syriong economies across generatins not vice versa

mr banier is of course a victim of the false austerity models usd by the eu whose top preferred to slave -actually destroy sustainability of youth - than to admit to elders that diue to subprime their pensions were worthless in 2008 unless they robbed youth - if you wanty a judge of that read pope paul's testimony to starsbourg of a union whose supre,be beings have designed  system that priortises the needs of haggard infertile grandmothers -

alas - istead f 2020 bein the year we do marvellous things with 5g as we humanise robits- the barniers of this world will take up all of media time and pied piper this subcontient if not the while world into orbots outh of which great will never see the chnace to have happy children

Persistent Inefficiency: Adam Smith’s Theory of Slavery and Its Abolition in Western Europe

Abstract

Adam Smith made two positive claims about slavery in the context of developing economies. First, Smith argued that slavery was in general highly inefficient. By his account, the net product under freedom is 12 times larger than under slavery. Second, he observes that, despite its inefficiencies, slavery persists in most of the world. Taken together, these claims create a fundamental puzzle: Why do elites – owning slaves and holding political control – fail to make themselves better off by freeing their slaves?
Smith gives two very different answers to this puzzle. The first is psychological. Smith asserts that people have a fundamental desire to dominate others, and slavery provided that opportunity for slaveholding elites. The first explanation is the most commonly advanced in the literature. Yet no where else does Smith use the assumption of domination. This explanation therefore seems ad hoc.
I favor instead Smith’s second explanation, which fits well with the recent literature on the political-economics of development. This argument, far less known in the Smith literature, involves commitment problems. Freeing the slaves would deprive slaveholders of their property. How would they be compensated? In principle, a long-term compensation scheme could solve this problem. But in the undeveloped societies Smith discusses, such as feudal Europe, long-term contracts were difficult – perhaps impossible – to enforce. Indeed, I show that both parties to the long-term compensation scheme had incentives to dishonor it. In the presence of commitment problems, masters could not be assured they would, in fact, be better off freeing their slaves. Slaveholders therefore rationally avoided emancipation despite its inefficiency. Smith, the so-called father of economics, provides here a political and legal argument for the failure of a more efficient system of labor markets to emerge
