As a person whose name is frequently misspelt I should take more care. I will correct the error.<br />Sincerely<br />WintonWinton Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383561940886657594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089082204850170942.post-85233021210610570032016-09-16T23:13:34.712+10:002016-09-16T23:13:34.712+10:00Dear Mr. Bates,

You clarify for me what I dislike most about neo-institutionalism, namely, that is always, every time, about incentives. Humans respond to incentives. I admit it (I am after all an economist). But other matters than cost and benefit move people, too. The Anzac men going over the top at Gallipoli cannot be summarized as responding to incentives alone.<br /><br />I like your supplement to the Bismarckian Deal--Beveridgean! <br /><br />One little disappointment is that an Australian (that is, you) sometimes misspells "Deirdre"! Only people is Australia and Ireland to get it right!<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />Deirdre N. McCloskeyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05638820963402539684noreply@blogger.com
