Over the years I have collected together lots of various study bits & pieces
which are hard to find elsewhere, so here is my page of study stuff. I have
also shoved my essays, dissertation and lecture slides here for anyone who
might find them useful - certainly they get downloaded a lot especially
during term time which suggests my essays end up as other people's essays -
if that's what you're here for, then good luck to you! You may also find
the
resources for my book Freeing Growth: How The World Can Grow Four Times
Faster Sustained useful as a list of references. My book is about
Neo-Capitalism, my new Economic system based on testing of a new kind
of Economic model derived from my work on Tn,
and whose main conclusions are summarised by the pamphlet
Freeing
Growth: The Neo-Capitalist Manifesto.
Finally,
you may find the diary
entries of summer 2006 containing notes on my post-Capitalism research of
interest
Relevant to Neo-Capitalism:
The slides for the
presentation I gave at the 2011 Institute of Education Doctoral School
Summer Conference on the same research proposed by the WPER essay just below.
My essay for my MRes Institute of
Education WPER (Writing and Presenting Educational Research) module which is
a research proposal for the development of an academic assessment auditing
software tool (awaiting score).
Lecture slides and resources given in 2011 to
Business undergraduates from l’Ecole Supérieure de Commerce IDRAC Lyon,
France as part of their semester abroad studying in a native English
speaking country. I have had to remove anything copyright to others, but
the rest is there including videos.
Here is a
presentation on the results of the SNO business simulation exercise I
performed with the students, where the SNO exercises are described by
Springer, C. W., and A. F.
Borthick. 2004. ‘Business simulation to stage critical thinking in
introductory accounting: Rationale, design and implementation’. Issues
in Accounting Education 19(3): 277-303
My essay for my MRes Institute of Education AER (Approaches to
Educational Research) module on whether there is a cluster of excellence in
the development of cutting edge mathematics in Old World Europe (i.e.
including European Russia). This comes in two flavours: (i)
The first draft (scored a C,
though I find it the most readable) and (ii)
the final submission (almost a
complete rewrite, also scored a C).
Research Proposal
submitted to the 2011 Oxford and Cambridge Junior Research Fellowships on designing a
repressive system of economic control based on the divorce of the money
supply into "Educares", "Ecostors" and "Infrabonds".
