In this post I would like to explore the complex relations between literature and economics. I’m holding the conviction that those who’re mainly financially motivated or search to reach higher social status through a literary activity, are approaching this field with a wrong mindset.

Research Procrastination, Time and Books.
Although I’m almost religious about posting once a week some post of about 500 words on my blog, lately I’ve been so busy that I willfully neglected this self-imposed deadline. What happened?

What’s on US?
The forces shaping our future are not inevitable in the sense that they are ‘preordained’ or irrefutable.
