I am still MIA watching closely the situation in Romania. Very worried I might add. Sentiment of mass hypnosis. Must focus more on underlayers. What is apparent is not enough for explaining how RO got in this situation.

And if we stay, what? It's getting more depressing daily. Institutions fail, because they are populated with individuals like many, I won't name.

I have a 'dumb blonde' moment. Thinking about w the US and perhaps all over the world. In US we hope institutions (political, economic and social) will hold. Will they? Remember the "immunity". So, I ask: is there a question of institutions per se? Or the people "playing the game"?

Ok. Here goes nothing. New around here, on the bird I wasn't for ages, so: interested in books, again books, than economics and in particular institutional economics (new and old), politics and in expressing here and there, from time to time opinions. Nice too meet you all.
