The Barbershop | Growing Global
https://growingglobal.wordpress.com/2014/11/04/the-barbershop
Seth Morgan's Blog. November 4, 2014. They killed the dogs last night. Gunshots and panicked yelps then for the first time in two months silence. Now I’m walking two blocks toward the river on the way to the barbershop and there are corpses piled in heaps on the curb awaiting removal. Calo is unconcerned. He is singing the praises of the neighborhood barber. My hair is thick and shaggy, while Calo’s is buzzed tight; his dense Dominican curls smooth against his head.

Seth Morgan's Blog. The Sacred Harp in Thailand. June 1, 2013. Then listen to these songs I recorded in the village where P’Wah (ECHO Asia’s seed bank manager) is from:. Do you hear the resemblance? This video, a trailer for a recent documentary on Sacred Harp, explains the history a bit more:. I fell in love with the sound of this music when I picked up the soundtrack to the above documentary, Awake, My Soul. What are we to think of this kind of thing? Is it cultural imperialism? If so, on whose part?

The Origin of Wealth | Growing Global
https://growingglobal.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/the-origin-of-wealth
Seth Morgan's Blog. August 22, 2013. The Origin of Wealth. Every once in a while I read a book that totally revolutionizes my conceptual categories. Eric Beinhocker’s. The Origin of Wealth: Evolution, Complexity, and the Radical Remaking of Economics. Did that form me in the field of economics. The rational decision-making of (perfectly) informed economic agents. The tendency of markets to reach equilibrium, unless shocked from some exogenous source. But what is the next step for economics? But Eric Bein...

Day In, Day Out: A Review of Hannah Arendt | Growing Global
https://growingglobal.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/day-in-day-out-a-review-of-hannah-arendt
Seth Morgan's Blog. January 9, 2014. Day In, Day Out: A Review of Hannah Arendt. If there is an Oscar for the category, best glorification of the life of the mind then. Deserves it. Rarely have the classroom and the writing desk glowed with more fervor on-screen than in Margarethe Von Trotta’s biopic of the acclaimed Jewish political theorist. It’s a winning presentation. Barbara Sukowa’s Arendt is a lantern-jawed hero of independent thought, steely-eyed in the face of criticism. Next post →. My thoughts...

Seth Morgan's Blog. June 13, 2013. But there is an end to everything. Fortunately, I didn’t have to fly straight back. Instead, I took the train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok and had a whirlwind two-day tour of Thai art and culture. Here are some photos of the adventure:. Some wilted lotus buds at a shrine in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. A child looks at some lotus flowers in front of a lovely example of. The Bhodi tree, under which the Buddha is said to have received enlightenment. A closer look at an...

Seth Morgan's Blog. August 27, 2013. The Atlas of Economic Complexity. Graphic from infosthetics.com. As a follow-up to Eric Beinhocker’s The Origin of Wealth, I recently downloaded and read The Atlas of Economic Complexity. Aluminum, raw cotton and dried fruit dominate the Tajik economy. And each of these items are ubiquitous enough in the world that it does not take a high degree of scarce knowledge to produce them. On the other hand, here’s Thailand’s exports:. Using GDP instead of GDP per capita, the...

Zai Holes | Reckless Farming
https://blingbeek.wordpress.com/2011/12/04/zai-holes
Howdy Partner →. December 4, 2011. At Ukulima farm, we have converted a plot of land to zai holes in order to research ways in which to improve upon the zai hole technique. The zai hole experiment is designed to test the effect composted manure and a legume intercrop has on overall sorghum grain production. Sorghum is a grain that is grown widely throughout Africa as it’s more drought tolerant than corn. The four legumes intercropped with the sorghum are. This entry was posted in Uncategorized.
