I will plead guilty to haveing my own political leanings, but I will try to be upfront about them.&amp;nbsp; I am also going to offer my own ideas as to how the economy should be reformed, and why.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
This blog will be the site for my writing on what I will, for now, call &lt;strong&gt;Bounded Capitalism&lt;/strong&gt;, which is my (humble?) idea for solving the economic woes of mankind.&amp;nbsp; More on that soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The reason for the title?&amp;nbsp; Its related to my own weird sense of humor, and the irrational expectation that what&amp;nbsp; I will say will make a difference.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
