Thanks to Andrew Pohl for this comment this morning:
Dear Michael,
I attended your presentation to the CFA [Chartered Financial Analyst] society back in 2012 and I wanted to write you and thank you again for your speech. While it was a while ago, I still think of you and your letter which was always a pleasure to read with great insights about northwest economy. I especially enjoyed the book you recommended in your presentation, “China in Ten Words”, which I am still recommending to people to this day whenever a conversation about China comes up. I didn’t realize you had this blog and now that I do I plan on coming back. I’m so glad to see that you are still sharing your insights here. I hope all is well and thank you again for the work you do.
Best,
Andrew
My response:
Andrew, you just made my day. Thank you for such kind words.
I, too, continue to recommend China in Ten Words by Yu Hua. I continue to believe that developments in China will dominate our economic conversation for as far ahead as the eye can see.
Marple’s Letter is no more, sad to say. I sold in 2009 after more than 30 years. It died in 2013 of declining circulation.
Besides blogging, I continue to be active as a professional speaker. Referrals welcome.
