Trinity Church Appearance with Barbara Crafton

Well. Barbara Crafton and I seem to have had a fine time at Trinity Church three days ago. We had a good discussion in front of a pretty fair-sized audience about a number of public issues of these days as part of Trinity Institute's current series "Wall Street Dialogues". Our conversation was indeed a "dialogue", which started with Mitt Romney's just revealed tax rate and moved through education, health care and the structural sources of inequality, among other topics. It was gratifying to talk back and forth for some 45 minutes, and then have the questions from the audience and the internet bring out new and different aspects of the issues.

Perhaps some of you watched, but if not, you might still want see the presentation. Go here: http://www.trinitywallstreet.org/news/articles/wall-street-dialogues-would-jesus-pay-taxes.

As to the substance of Ways of the World, it's been a while since we talked to you about "the economy", and several sectors have shown some signs of life in recent reports. So watch for commentary on that to appear here soon. The Trinity Church event brought up several issues that bear our greater exploration, so those will come as well. As always, let us know what's on your minds, too.
