The Wealth and Poverty of Nations by David Landes Professor David S. Landes is the Emeritus Professor of History & Economics at Harvard University. This book looks at the historic causes of the wealth and poverty of today's nations. It is immensely readable and enjoyable but judging by some of the reader comments on Amazon the author's views are somewhat controversial.



Video: Sydney Harbour Knowledge Cafe



On 25th October 2007 I ran a Knowledge Cafe in Sydney. It was hosted by Annalie Killian of AMP on the 25th Floor of their building overlooking Sydney Harbour.

The Cafe was on the theme "What will be the impact of Social Tools within Organizations?" which I co-facilitated with Helen Paige who is regional director of the Gurteen Knowledge Community in Adelaide. About 70 people attended. It was a great evening.
