Hi Shlomo
We once spoke about Michael Collins, I was wondering whether you ever pursued your interest in his leadership style

John, wonderful to hear from you — I still have the wonderful biography you gave me!
I recently did give a presentation about leadership: How charismatic leadership can be destroy organizations…
I wonder if Collins is perhaps a case in point? If only he could have gotten his colleagues to go along with his
signing the final agreement… if only…
very best wishes, Shlomo

Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions? With thanks

The subject of theoretical macroeconomics has been so badly treated by the humanities in the past that it is regarded as a dismal pseudo science. May people have complained about this, but somehow nobody seems to have done much about it. Since the Technion is involved with innovation, it should surely be interested in the means to revive this subject and turn it into a more exact and logical science.
I believe I have achieved this aim with my recently published book “Consequential Macroeconomics–Rationalizing About how our Social System Works”. As a retired engineer who has written and seen published several technical papers in aeronautical matters (including some presented at the Technion), you should expect this new book to contain a logical and more exacting model and analysis of our social system, than in the past. It does! and a lot more.
I would like to share this 320 page book with Prof. Shlomo Maital and any others who are this way inclined. Please write to me for an e-copy, chesterdh@hotmail.com

I was interested to read in the Jerusalem Report about your project cooked up with Clyde Prestowitz about long-range planning. Clyde knows me well from our time in the Reagan administration. I was chief economist on the staff of the National Security Council in the White House. I and my colleagues developed the grand strategy that won the Cold War and brought down the USSR. Last year a book was published about this, entitled THE GRAND STRATEGY THAT WON THE COLD WAR, Architecture of Triumph, of which I was co-editor and co-author. The book was inspired by the monograph I published in 1998 (2nd ed. 1999) at the Potomac Foundation in McLean, Va. I am now living in Israel where I have been since 2011. I am Professor of Economics and National Security at the National Security Studies Center, U. of Haifa and write regular columns in Globes in English and the Asia Times of Hong Kong as well as occasional articles in other journals, such as World Affairs, The Intelligencer and The International Economy. If you might be interested in my collaborating on your project, please contact me at normanabailey@gmail.com or 054-344-6055. With best regards, Norman A. Bailey (will send you a bio if you wish or you can look me up on Google or the websites of the Institute of World Politics or the Institute for Global Economic Growth.)

Dear Professor Maital,
Thank you for your story about Avi and Ljuba. I had the immense pleasure of meeting Avi in Boston this week, and it was devastating to learn I missed him by five minutes the next night, his last night in Boston!
We didn’t exchange contact information when we met because we had plans to meet the next night; definitely wish we had. He really made an impression on me, by being so open and honest, generous, and steadfast in his values. Not to mention one of the most affirming conversations I’ve ever had… with a stranger more than twice my age?! He truly wanted to get to know me, asked excellent questions, told me I am his granddaughter.
ANYWAY! I wondered if you have Avi and/or Ljuba’s contact information in Israel, and if so, whether you’d be willing to share it with me. We didn’t get to wish each other well and say goodbye, and just having the opportunity to let him know how much our conversation meant to me would be so special.
Thank you for your consideration,
Cheyenne
