Here is some headturning news of how the Japanese are now envious of India's education. The world evolves, and you certainly don't hear of anyone envying America's primary and secondary schools. Asia in motion.

"A Farewell to Alms" by Gregory Clark

"The Bottom Billion" by Paul Collier

It looks like the Pinker book has dropped down on the reading list. I am particularly interested in "The Bottom Billion" with its focus on the problems of the poorest nations developing. "Farewell to Alms" is a more general framework, but I can wait on it, and wouldn't be surprised if I never got to it, seeing how time and money are such constraints in the world as we know it.

I feel some regret for losing so much of my reading life to biographies and escapist fiction. I figured my mind wasn't up to it anymore and took the easy way out. I am glad to see that not all is so dead.
