Announcement: I will soon be in Wellington, New Zealand, and want to invite any Fresh Economic Thinking readers who can make it to a meet-up dinner and drinks on Wednesday 6th December from 5.30 pm at Fork & Brewer. Look forward to meeting some readers there. No need to RSVP—there will be space for you. But feel free to reply to this email if you like.
