		<description><![CDATA[It is an age old question – why are we here?  What is our purpose?  Why do we exist?  But I think it is a question we need to ask ourselves once again.  Big corporates and advertising have convinced us that our purpose is to produce and consume.  The more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Going to try and challenge conventional wisdom this week and try and look at the current economic crisis from a different angle.
First going to look at deflation.  Spoke a little about deflation in a previous blog about how it is a bad thing&#8230; but this time I’m going to argue that maybe it is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, the long-awaited, long-in-the-draft-box, third email in the series about voting and governments.
This one is going to explore a key question: what do you expect a government to do?  What is a government’s role and how involved should they be?  One of the key political and philosophical debates that has once again been [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year everyone.  I’m back to the old tradition of the very unweekly email, it has been so long since the last one.  I have one half finished mail still waiting from last month, hopefully you’ll get that one soon – it is the third in the series about choosing your governments.

I’m just going to touch briefly on South Africa’s politics at the moment, maybe I will do a longer blog on it later if [...]]]></description>

However the follow-on has now become incredibly relevant.  South Africa is seeing some very interesting democracy in action (for a quick comment on [...]]]></description>
