Economy [electronic resource].

Saraba 2009

Open access content

It was in the hope of mystic possibilities and unimagined realities that this issue of Saraba was published, and again, it is a major triumph. This issue is a victory on many fronts—and fonts: there are more distinguished writers published, and the consequences are brilliantly wrought write-ups. And of course, as always, the Emerging outweigh the Established. Here at Saraba, we stay true to our creed. By giving each of our issue themes, we set out to exhaust these themes, and perhaps proffer new perspectives to our readers, of course after having resonated the obvious. With this “Economy” issue, Saraba is not trying to be The Economist. The economy, to us, goes beyond a malnourished African child as a cover page, over-enthusiastic Keynesian dissertations with quick solutions and obvious references and multi-colored bar charts. Rather, we are taking the humanistic approach at the fraying foundations of the world‘s financial grid. And like all human endeavours, we know our expressions are subject to bias. However we strive to be more humanitarian than objective. People should matter in the forecast of gloomy economic days, this imminent Economic Holocaust! Each economic narration, be it print, electronic or verbal, should thrive on the threshold of humanity. To read about the world‘s economy without considering how such economy affects the world‘s people—the billions in Asia, the hundreds of millions in Africa, the Wall-Streeters and the main- streeters, the children and the adult—is a flagrant misrepresentation of what it means to tell the story of economy. Whether our literary experiments cut our humanistic expectations, we would let you be the judge.
