Ryan Alison Foley: New Journey, New Questions
http://ryanrouying.blogspot.com/2009/11/new-journey-new-questions.html
Monday, November 2, 2009. New Journey, New Questions. My application to the program at IUC Torino was largely based on this experience:. I think there are a number of reasons, the first of which must be that many are happy not to question a system that works in their own favour. In addition, there are many mechanisms by which research may be prevented or discredited. Many more questions to be answered, but I will keep exploring and searching for the truth. Hi, ryan. i read your essay (article, ideas,...

Ryan Alison Foley: So maybe we can't change the world
http://ryanrouying.blogspot.com/2010/01/so-maybe-we-cant-change-world.html
Saturday, January 30, 2010. So maybe we can't change the world. This week I had a really inspiring and humbling meeting with Ugo Mattei, the founder of the IUC and a renowned critic of modern theories of law and economics. He responded that what we really need is social change, not a quick fix as so many Americans are used to expect. Alex from Africa said. I like your thoughts here. And even if I find that your quest for a more fair world is absolutely noble, I dlike to raise a question. I agree with you...

Ryan Alison Foley: November 2009
http://ryanrouying.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 11, 2009. I recently saw this question posed and I've been mulling over it for the past week or so. The problem is, I do think that a certain level of profit is immoral or at least becomes exploitative, but where do you draw the line? How can anyone make a judgment on when profit is too much without being discredited as a crazy left-wing socialist? The issue popped into my head again this evening while I was reading this article by Maureen Dowd: "Virtuous Bankers? In conclusion, some ...

Ryan Alison Foley: March 2007
http://ryanrouying.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 29, 2007. Going Green in China? China has a bad reputation for pollution. I can personally attest to the poor air quality in Beijing. Every time I take a long bike ride I wear a carbon filter mask. Was just slightly more than twice that of Europe and well more than 6 times that of China. From a lack of money, or perhaps more appropriately put, the lack of excessive amounts of money, comes more deliberate. Of energy and more reuse of resources. Reusing materials in China is extremely commo...

Ryan Alison Foley: IUC Inauguration - Is big government back?
http://ryanrouying.blogspot.com/2010/03/iuc-inauguration-is-big-government-back.html
Tuesday, March 9, 2010. IUC Inauguration - Is big government back? I had the honor this morning to speak as a student represtentative at this year's academic inauguration ceremony at the IUC. Policies that protect employment? How can we have competition without enforcing anti-trust laws? Rhetoric and Reality in Big Government. I would like to contribute to the discussion this morning by speaking about the rhetoric and the reality of big government in Europe and the United States. As we have seen big ...

Ryan Alison Foley: Socialism vs. Capitalism: Does the system itself really matter?
http://ryanrouying.blogspot.com/2009/12/socialism-vs-capitalism-does-system.html
Tuesday, December 8, 2009. Socialism vs. Capitalism: Does the system itself really matter? I was fortunate to learn about these economic theories in class with Professor Joseph Halevi. And actually, perhaps in that case we wouldn't need regulations at all! I was inspired by this short clip of an interview with the Dalai Lama:. Dalai Lama - Capitalism, Socialism and Income Inequality. Do we think we are better or more deserving than others? Change the world girl! December 9, 2009 at 3:35 PM.

Ryan Alison Foley: Putting myself out there
http://ryanrouying.blogspot.com/2014/03/putting-myself-out-there.html
Monday, March 24, 2014. Putting myself out there. Fieldwork is an isolating experience. Although I am constantly surrounded by others as I seek to interact with and learn from them, I am always aware of my outside status, exaggerated by frequent note-taking which keeps me alert, but somehow separate from the spontaneity of the present.
