Missing Out?

Headline in today's Times (of London) - where have I gone wrong?

It was founded by stern Fabian socialists and is best known for being home to the “dismal science”, but the London School of Economics has now been voted the top university in Britain for nightlife. The party university “elite” has traditionally been dominated by England’s northern cities and Scotland, but in a survey of students that asked undergraduates to list the universities based on the pub, club and music scene, the LSE has shot to the top of the list

I was at LSE yesterday evening. Monday is definitely not party night unless you count a bit of verbal flagellation by William Easterly as fun!

He was talking on the 'Tyranny of Experts': too many experts, too many action plans and not enough focus on the rights of the poor. Interesting, but not sure what to do next: find a new profession? Easterly's own slide on what to do next was deliberately left blank, representing that there have been too many three bullet solutions proposed already.

LSE have a great series of free lectures. http://www.lse.ac.uk/publicEvents/eventsHome.aspx

Anyone visiting London should check out what's on and pop over to Houghton St. For those that can't visit, some events are live-streamed and there is usually a podcast following the event (as there will be for William Easterly's presentation).
