Ricardo Hausmann (Venezuela) is currently Professor of the Practice of Economic Development at the Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University.

Other writers are associated with specific regions of England these include Charles Dickens (London), Thomas Hardy (Wessex), A. E. Housman (Shropshire), and the Lake Poets (the Lake District).

In 1936, Price appeared as Prince Albert Victor in the American production of Laurence Housman's play Victoria Regina , starring Helen Hayes in the title role of Queen Victoria.

But what Housman understood, and you hear it in the symphonies of Nielsen too, was that the long, hot, silvan summers of stability of the 19th century were coming to a close, and that we were about to move into one of those terrifying periods of history when power changes.

You might argue that the last time it happened and that's what Housman felt coming and what Churchill felt too was that when power passed from the old nations, the old powers of Europe, across the Atlantic to the new emerging power of the United States of America the beginning of the American century.
