Imagery to Stir the Soul and Tease the Senses - using photo-art and wordcraft
See link above. Williamsburg, Virginia is beautiful, especially in the Fall. It is a living history museum and small Southern College Town in the USA. Jamestown is the site of early English settlements, and Yorktown is the site of decisive battles. Their neighbors (The Seven Cities) are rapidly growing and adapting to the new normal!
Annie has lived a long life and seen many examples of what we might call "Denial." You are welcome to explore this website for what may be found in De Nile (the Jungian shadow), or In Seine (death by drowning). If you don't "get" the jokes, it's not your fault. Annie is a poet and a Brit, and she enjoys word games. The page for exploring this type of thing is the "Happiness" page. How to find peace, if not joy, in difficult circumstances.
​​Annie has long been retired from the professional world, where she was a teacher of economics, a portrait photographer, and an administrator in the back office of an IT staffing company which grew from Start-up to International. She thanks everyone who has been involved with the development of her worldview and understands that many of them do not wish to be associated with anything so controversial. She hopes that, now that the world is hearing her, she will be allowed to enjoy the cake, like the Little Red Hen. "All by myself I baked it, and all by myself I will eat it." And all by herself she will get fat and then she will throw the rest away! Cheers! (Or was that, "Up Yours!?)

​A scholarly book, "This Time is Different," explains how pressure builds up in financial systems. Individual statistical tests can mislead. A whole body of them, probably not. (I am being polite here... but it's dangerous for a financial amateur - albeit a former professional economist - to presume to advise professionals. It is also dangerous for politicians to trust financial analysts who have a conflict of interest in the matter. Adam Smith warned against trusting "merchants" wanting to influence the law. THAT particular Adam Smith's contemporaries called him a moral philosopher.)
​If you understood the essay at the link above, then the pages to explore on this website are the Systemic Bias page and the Essays page. They have been removed from the main menu but are still accessible at links. The academic papers at the links below are, first, an early presentation of ideas that foreshadowed the two working papers second and third below, and then the working papers themselves. Policy prescriptions in the first paper are conventional - invest in rural regions. As we recovered from the pandemic, Annie realized that a tighter monetary policy would work better than those prescriptions. Such a policy must be carefully orchestrated.

New: Economist Annie says:
Elevator Speech of Annie’s Themes, Jan-04-2026
Annie’s model illustrates three findings. The paragraph below helps explain this:
Free marketeers believe that the benefits of growth and productivity extend to all. But Annie’s model shows us that (1) POCKETS OF POVERTY REMAIN IN FREE-MARKET SOCIETIES, EVEN THOUGH POVERTY MAY DECLINE OVERALL. Not only does “trickle-down” to very poor minorities NOT occur, but also (2) MAJORITY-RULE FOR MAJORITY-BENEFIT PULLS RESOURCES AWAY FROM THOSE ALREADY LEFT BEHIND -- locally, nationally, and globally. The left-behind become disillusioned, angry, disruptive, and sometimes violent. Anne’s simple solution to financial inequality is to (3) REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE GLOBAL SYSTEM, WHICH CAN HELP PRICES ADJUST TO BETTER REFLECT TRUE VALUES.
New: Teacher Annie says:
The New World Order can be local, regional, national, or international.
Annie's local region is "The Peninsula."
Here is a Project for people who live in The Peninsula:
​
IF you work in the shipyard - compare and contrast military cabin space with commercial cruise ship cabin space.
​
IF you work in education - compare and contrast the staff and facilities in - preschool, elementary school, high school, college - and/or in Newport News, Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, Norfolk.
IF you work in healthcare - compare and contrast the staff and facilities in - a hospital, a doctor's office, a senior care home, a hospice.
Etcetera.
