Index

Overall, this blog is about human welfare on a global scale, with some attention to national, local and personal issues.  This post gives provides an index by topic to previous posts.

Here is a summary of the major themes in this blog. 

My first theme is to examine the relationship between GDP and the physical well-being of people in a society.   Second, I look at energy consumption and integrity as important factors in determining GDP.   My third theme is peak oil, and consideration of how we will provide the future energy necessary for human health and development.   My final general theme is integrity and fairness in government and society.
