  2. How Language Caused the Modern World (An outline of the July 2011 EGOS (European Group for Organizational Studies) talk in Sweden)
    Here is a fact from [Bourgeois Dignity] that every student of organizations — or of anything else! — ought to know. It is the Great Fact: that average real income per head in the world has increased since 1800 by a factor of ten. And in the parts that have caught on to the British example, such as Norway and Taiwan and now even China and India the eventual factor of increase is more like 20 or 30, 1900 percent or 2900 percent over the $3 a day of 1800.
  3. Language and Interest in the Economy: A White Paper on 'Humanomics'. Posted July 2011.
    Economics ignores persuasion in the economy. The economics of asymmetric "information" or common "knowledge" over the past 40 years reduces to costs and benefits but bypasses persuasion, "sweet talk." Sweet talk accounts for a quarter of national income, and so is not mere "cheap talk."
