<p>Hi all</p>
<p>I have been threatening to finish this essay for the past several
weeks. I believe that I have captured in it the inner truth of my

that you have time to give it a read. i invite comments. As I
am not an academic I have no place to publish accept these lists.<br>

billion informal economy workers (representing the most vulnerable

earn a
