Anne Emerson - Fine Art Photographer, Poet, and Essayist

Annie is incorrigibly interested in everything, with knowledge of diverse worldviews and mindsets, and a passion for and deep understanding of writing, reading, and research; she is quick, analytical, responsive, and honest (most of the time).

 

Imagery to Stir the Soul
and Tease the Senses - 
using photo-art and wordcraft

​​Annie has lived a long life and seen many examples of what we might call "Denial."  You are welcome to explore this website for what may be found in De Nile (the Jungian shadow), or In Seine (death by drowning). If you don't "get" the jokes, it's not your fault. Annie is a poet and a Brit, and she enjoys word games. The page for exploring this type of thing is the "Happiness" page. How to find peace, if not joy, in difficult circumstances.

 

Annie has long been retired from the professional world, where she was both a teacher of economics and a financial administrator in the back office of an IT company which grew from Start-up to International.  Her long-time hobbies have included gardening, photography, and writing, especially poetry. She is looking to pass along her worldview, including administration of this website. She hopes her children will be interested in assisting with that. She thanks everyone who has been involved with the development of her worldview and understands that many of them do not wish to be formally associated with anything so controversial.

​

As regards the "New World Order," upon which we all might wish to ponder, the pages to explore on this website are the Systemic Bias page and the Essays page. The academic papers (in economic theory and policy) at the links below are, first, an early presentation of ideas that foreshadowed the two working papers second and third below, and then the working papers themselves. Policy prescriptions in the first paper are fairly conventional - invest in rural regions, etcetera. During the pandemic, Annie realized that a tighter monetary policy would work better than those prescriptions. Such a policy must be carefully orchestrated.

 

A scholarly book, "This Time is Different," explains how pressure builds up in financial systems. Individual statistical tests can mislead. A whole body of them, probably not. (I am being polite here... but it's dangerous for an amateur to presume to advise professionals. It is also dangerous for politicians to trust financial analysts who have a conflict of interest in the matter. Adam Smith warned against trusting "merchants" wanting to influence the law. THAT particular Adam Smith's contemporaries called him a moral philosopher.)

Reader Annie

In her personal life, Annie has read widely in many genres - popular science, literary classics, popular philosophy, etc.

For a worldview, based on her life story and her readings, please see other pages of this website, in particular the Happiness page.

Economist Annie

In her professional life, Annie was a teacher of business economics in the evenings, and a worker in the finance department of an IT services start-up during the day. The company became international, with workers in many US states and Canada.

Elevator Speech of Annie’s Themes, Jan-04-2026

 

Annie’s model illustrates three findings. The paragraph below helps explain this:

 

           Free marketeers believe that the benefits of growth and productivity extend to all.  But Annie’s model shows us that (1) POCKETS OF POVERTY REMAIN IN FREE-MARKET SOCIETIES, EVEN THOUGH POVERTY MAY DECLINE OVERALL.  Not only does “trickle-down” to very poor minorities NOT occur, but also (2) MAJORITY-RULE FOR MAJORITY-BENEFIT PULLS RESOURCES AWAY FROM THOSE ALREADY LEFT BEHIND -- locally, nationally, and globally.  The left-behind become disillusioned, angry, disruptive, and sometimes violent.  Anne’s simple solution to financial inequality is to (3) REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN THE GLOBAL SYSTEM, WHICH CAN HELP PRICES ADJUST TO BETTER REFLECT TRUE VALUES. 

New: Teacher Annie says:

The New World Order can be local, regional, national, or international.

 

Annie's local region is "The Peninsula."

 

Here is a Project for people who live in The Peninsula:

​

IF you work in the shipyard - compare and contrast military cabin space with commercial cruise ship cabin space.

​

IF you work in education - compare and contrast the staff and facilities in - preschool, elementary school, high school, college - and/or in Newport News, Williamsburg, Virginia Beach, Norfolk.

 

IF you work in healthcare - compare and contrast the staff and facilities in - a hospital, a doctor's office, a senior care home, a hospice. 

 

Etcetera.
