I am a professor emeritus of economics. I have published around six dozen refereed scholarly papers in a variety of areas in economics, finance, mathematics, statistics, and cryptology, and I've had a life-long interest in the field of linguistics. I limit my Wikipedia editing primarily to these fields.

"Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people, living life in peace... You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one."
