Arthur C. Clarke, RIP
Transience, the fate of humanity. I’m sure I’m only one of many millions whom his stories reached and moved at a young age. I remember being awed by “2001: A Space Odyssey”, absorbed by “Childhood’s End”, and crying on reading “Transience”, all as a teenager. And for all I know, this very blog post will be transmitted to some remote part of the internet via a satellite in Clarke orbit. Sir Arthur, good bye, and maybe see you on a seashore a few million years in the future.
New book on the costs of patents
I just came across this post by Arnold Kling. What he says that Bessen and Meurer say in the book is eminently reasonable. I wish though that people would stop talking about the Coase “theorem” which does not exist. I think I’m going to visit Amazon.com soon…
About me
My name is Dimitrios Diamantaras. I live in Abington, PA, and read too many books but I don’t finish all of them. I also enjoy classical music, especially vocal, dabble in computer software a bit, and think about economics a lot (it’s my job).
