Nick and others,
isn't it interesting that the council (or was that the president?) feels it
necessary to adopt a metaphor from capitalism to describe a key
characteristic desired of the new Annals co-editors. I will have to go
take a look at my copy of the OED to see what kind of permutations there
are to the term 'entrepreneurship'... if any cgf'ers out there have ideas
about what might be meant by the phrase, i'd be keen to hear them.
