I spend a week each summer in off-the-record meetings with economists from around the world. The group has been in existence since 1937; the only break was during WWII. The meetings are Chatham House rules, which means I can’t quote anyone verbatim but can share what I gleaned from our deliberations.

A wonderful column in today's @sundaytimes by @timrayment, proclaiming the joys of going back to playing an instrument in adulthood. We meet lots like him & pray that today's children will have something to go back to in later life. Are you listening @DamianHinds & @MattHancock?

An interesting piece by @TimRayment in @thesundaytimes about baby-boomers rediscovering music and themselves later in life. I am very sad that children today are not even being given a real opportunity to learn at school. #musiceducation
