Mary Albino lives in Toronto and writes on economics-related subjects. She tends to ask “how” questions. For example: How come people live so differently from how they want to live? Or: How does a person become less poor, not in principle, but actually? She’d also like to know: Under what circumstances do people give their money away? Ryeberg thinks it's worth mentioning that Mary occasionally plays the violin.Go to curator page - Bert Archer

Close
Ryeberg Curator BioMarco Pitzalis RSS
Marco Pitzalis was born in Cagliari in late November, 1963. The entire world, at that moment, was thinking of President Kennedy’s death, so Pitzalis’ birth passed unnoticed. As the decades passed, he noticed that all high points in his life continued to be obscured by their coincidence with great historical events. Nonetheless, he quietly made his way. As an undergrad in Cagliari, Italy, Pitzalis achieved excellent grades in Philosophy; he went on to a PhD in Sociology at the Ecoles des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris. One day, in the faculty washroom, Pitzalis encountered the great Philosophe Derrida, who proceeded to use the toilet after him. Pitzalis believed this event to be charged with deep, transformative symbolism. Then in the year 2000, as the spray of the burst stock market bubble was still settling, he sold his shares—a minute too late, and he understood that at last he had consummated a divorce between himself and history. History no longer collides with his personal triumphs. Today Pitzalis teaches sociology at the glorious University of Cagliari in Sardinia. His presence is duly noticed by a handful of devoted students.Go to curator page - Christine Pountney
