Thanks for your interest in my perspectives on the economy, community, and civil society. I share insights here and with newspapers, magazines, and journals with an understanding that reasonable people can and do disagree. Ideally, all of our perspectives compete in the idea marketplace and the best ideas prevail. I don't always get things right and my perspectives periodically change as I learn more and am exposed to new experiences. What doesn't change is the clarion call to treat people with dignity. I try to do that in these pages. Forgive me if I fall short. All thoughts are my own.
