I am a retired economist with a continuing interest in the world around me, how it works and sometimes doesn’t work.  The phrase in the heading, Quaecumque Vera is Latin meaning “whatsoever things are true”.  This is the motto of my Alma Mater, the University of Alberta from which I have a Ph. D. in Arts/Economics. Seeking Objectivity suggests impartial or neutral assessments that are not affected by preconceptions or outright bias.  The Seeking component is important. I may not achieve full neutrality but I’ll keep trying.  Nonetheless, gentle reader, Beware!
