In the discussion they are trying to get to the bottom of the rise of right wing populism and at about nine minutes in Sandel comments that western emphasis and economies have shifted from "making things" to "making money"; that the left have lost or have a lack of respect for the work associated with making things.<br /><br />Anyone who has ever been completely, tongue out the side of their mouths, focused on making a thing understands the value of that exercise. Some people I know wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China, except maybe when their back or knees hurt a bit too much or their hands get a bit arthritic but Haha! that's what apprentices are for. <br /><br />You give a tip of the hat and a thank you to all who have supported you, your friends, pupils and patrons. Those who value your work, your intellect or your friendship enough to invest either their money or time in your world of making things. Keep on keeping on.<br /><br />Enjoy the south and lets see what the new year brings.. ...dh...dhnoreply@blogger.com
