When did you last take an econ class? Economics is WAY more than stats. In
fact, stats are an insignificant portion of econ. Most of it is theory mixed
with business case study.

Okay, here's a new mag for you, Dan. Try the Economist. A magazine FOR
economists. They have QUOTED Kevin Kelley. They also did a fantastic article
about Alan Greenspan and the frictionless economy about 3 months ago. In this
they discuss many of the same concepts Kelley does.

Scan their website: www.economist.com and you'll find it.

The Economist is a significant forum for discussion of the New Economy. They
are also big supporters of frictionless, open commerce.

Which premises exactly, Dan? Please elaborate.

The New Economy isn't some evil force out to deprive you of standards. Reject
it if you want. However, many of the high-tech industry titans are beginning to
implement business models and teams based on New Economy concepts.

Just a thought.
