<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://studymore.org.uk/sshbib.htm#KevinMcDonald">Kevin McDonald</a> gave a lecture this evening at Middlesex University. From <a href="http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/professor-kevin-mcdonalds-inaugural-professorial-lecture-tickets-12459892875">the synopsis</a>, it appears he was outlining his argument that people seek <a href="http://studymore.org.uk/sshglo.htm#Action">meaningful action</a>, and that that is a key to understanding what happens in society. A paper he has published online discusses <a href="http://studymore.org.uk/sshbib.htm#AlainTouraine">Alain Touraine</a> in this context. (See yesterday's blog). Reading this brought to my mind the essay </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><i><a href="http://studymore.org.uk/xgoudy.htm">Existential criminal</a></i> by Ginny Goudy</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">They say it offers an insightful sociological

concludes that our future requires not just new economic measures but
