“The FHA's success provides strong evidence that government can and should play a role in the nation's mortgage finance system. It also demonstrates that although government intervention in the economy during the Great Recession was messy, things would have been a lot messier without it.” ShouldHas BeensPlayGovernmentStrongNationsRolesEconomyEvidenceFinanceInterventionMessyMortgageRecessionsGovernment InterventionGreat Recession Author:Mark Zandi

“I have assumed my clear commitment to a Trinitarian orthodoxy was sufficient evidence that I have not intentionally ignored the role of the Holy Spirit.

“We have emphasized the importance of applied action research because it allows evidence-based policy and program development and a focus on learning. We are also committed to using a participatory approach in which local people, local program managers and providers, local researchers, women's health activists, and national decision-makers play the leading role. International "experts" from technical assistance agencies or universities can make important contributions, but they certainly don't have all the answers.” PeopleImportantPlayActionDecisionAnswersRolesFocusPolicyDevelopmentApproachResearchEvidenceProgramImportanceUniversityInternationalCommittedLocalsManagersExpertsAgencyContributionActivistMakersAssistanceResearchersProvidersDecision MakersImportant ContributionsWomen's Health Author:Ruth Simmons

“The work of an intellectual is not to mould the political will of others; it is, through the analyses that he does in his own field, to re-examine evidence and assumptions, to shake up habitual ways of working and thinking, to dissipate conventional familiarities, to re-evaluate rules and institutions and to participate in the formation of a political will (where he has his role as citizen to play).” ThinkingWayDoePlayPoliticalRolesFieldsCitizensIntellectualEvidenceIntelligentInstitutionsAnalysisAssumptionShakesConventionalFamiliarityFormationEvaluateHabitualMouldPolitical Will Author:Michel Foucault
“The Earth is warming but physical evidence from around the world tells us that human-emitted carbon dioxide has played only a minor role in it. Instead, the mild warming seems to be part of a natural 1,500-year climate cycle (plus or minus 500 years) that goes back at least one million years.” WorldYearsHumansSeemsEarthEnergyNaturalRolesMillionsEnvironmentEvidenceClimateClimate ChangeAround The WorldCyclesPlusMinorsCarbonTemperatureMinusCarbon Dioxide Book:Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years Source: Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1,500 Years
