I am an economist by professional training, though I don't do "economic" research, I am frequently called upon to use my economic and econometric expertise in my education, acculturation and hardship research. To keep myself up-to-date, I do quite a bit of reading about economics.

Recently there have been several very favorable lay texts about the problems facing economists as questions have been raised about the validity of the neoclassical model. Some of these have significant promise for renewing our understanding of how our economy operates and how it fits into a more holistic view of economy, society and ecology.
