FROM:Dr Eamonn Butler, Director of the Adam Smith Institute If you want my opinion=8A These are dark and worrying times. Military intervention is crucial, but th= e long-term battle against terrorism will only be won when we spread trade an= d democracy to corners of the planet where they don=B9t exist today. If we give the world's citizens good reason to co-operate with each other and become interdependent. Time for a new Marshall Plan to create this vision? See our thoughts on www.adamsmith.org.uk. Capitalist Tooley The Adam Smith Institute has confirmed that it is working with Newcastle=B9s Professor James Tooley on a major project looking at alternative ways of providing state-funded education, including non-profit, commercial, and parent-led schools. See the =8Cissues=B9 page on our website, or contact email@matthewyoung.co.uk. Researchers wanted Professor Tooley, by the way is expanding his education policy unit and is looking for keen people to help him collect and process research data. If you=B9re interested, or know someone who might be, let us know at info@adamsmith.org.uk. Why be an economist? I=B9ve been puzzling about this. I=B9d like to think it=B9s because economists can supply it on demand, but the real reasons are more like: - You can talk about money without every having to make any. - Arnold Schwarzenegger studied economics and he turned out OK. - When you=B9re in the dole queue, as least you know why you=B9re there. The future is e-Health=8A Following our work on electronic patient records, we=B9re now sponsoring an LCS-Sunday Business conference =8B "The future is e-Health" =8Bin Westminster o= n Monday 29 October. There will be presentations by a dozen of the world=B9s leading experts on electronic patient records, online procurement and other e-Health subjects. Unmissable. Contact mark@adamsmith.org.uk now. =8Aor for the TUC, private health Did you know that half the UK's trade unionists use private healthcare? Check out the facts on http:// www.tradeunion-privatehealth.org.uk. As Adam had it=8A "With the greater part of rich people, the chief enjoyment of riches consists in the parade of riches, which in their eyes is never so complete as when they appear to possess those decisive marks of opulence which nobod= y can possess but themselves." (The Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter XI). How I wish I could confirm this from personal experience! Creating a New Reality: The Adam Smith Institute, 23 Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3BL.
