Hanging out with Paul Krugman

Ross Dawson, June 15, 2009 12:00 AM US PT

I just got sent this nice picture of Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman and myself at the residence of His Highness Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister for Higher Education and Scientific Research. We were invited to his home in the evening for an informal conversation after the MegaTrends conference we both keynoted at in Abu Dhabi a couple of weeks ago.

HH Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan is looking at a copy of my book Living Networks.
