There is no compelling reason for this addendum and it arbitrarily excludes people like James Galbraith, who is an economist just like me, but at the University of Texas, and Jeffrey Halstead, Chief of Police in Fort Worth, Texas.
They both would have understood that ultimately it was very much about me, and reject the classical concept of altruism, or selfless giving to others, because it excludes benefit to the person who does the giving.
