Thank you, prof, for a great job. I wish to meet you one on one because there is a lot to learn from you.

I think that if modern globalization were presented to Hume he would challenge its extraordinary assumptions. As a thorough skeptic, he would be the first to question the idea of unchecked power vested in the WTO, UN and North American Union. Most adherents to globalization have a (not so hidden) religious belief in the State as the epitome of the rational question, a belief that is a perversion of Hegelianism.

Although Dr Sen has done a great work on ethics , yet he is not real. HE SUPPORTS Rahul Gandhi and family and he is anti Hindu and he has sold his soul to the west. I am sn economist but once i knew him close quaters i think he is a sold man and he does not believe in what he has written
