Greetings Economists,
Carrol Cox writes,
Your post invites
conversation, but what you are probably going to get in response is not
discussion of your arguments but a picking out of this phrase by some
backbiter and a mocking of your use of it. Probably they will suggest
that you yourself are a bloodless intellect incapable of feeling strong
passion. Don't respond to such baiting if it occurs.

Doyle,
I got into trouble around that sort of thing once and I appreciate your
wisdom here.  Your support means a lot to me.

Carrol,
Perhaps you should write a commentary on Fisher for the list.

Doyle
I'll see if I can put out something for the list sometime down the line.  I
had been thinking of Fisher in relation to collaboration (content/document
management in Information Technology), I hadn't thought he would be that
interesting when I picked up the book, but Fisher opens the topic of passion
in useful and unexpected ways.  Louis Proyect does a great job writing about
various cultural phenomenon.  I'll see if I can't take that example of an
approach to writing about a book or movie and see if I can't do justice to
this book.
thanks,
Doyle Saylor
