I am going to Terengganu for SUKMA 08 tomorrow. Prof. Yunus’ book will be my companion. JR bought it for me as one of my bday gifts. I can’t say he has got brilliant economic ideas, but well, his ideas were brave and they simply worked. Maybe not much of an economic analysis than an inspiration for me to pursue some bold ideas in my work.

And alternately I am also reading Stiglitz, though for him, I still can’t get beyond 20 pages - very slow reading at night.

Books books books…I am looking for this one though…someone buy for me?

Do check out the SUKMA website: http://www.sukma-2008.com.my for schedules, updates and results.
