  There are many analogies among fortune hunting in business, politics, and
science. The prime task of the gold digger was to go to the Klondikes, find the
right mine and mine the richest veins. This task requires motivation, sense of
purpose and ability. Techniques and equipment must be developed. Fortune
hunting in New England was provided at one time by hunting for whales. One went
to a great whalers' station such as New Bedford and joined the whale hunters.
The hunt in academic research is similar. A single-minded passion is called
for. These notes here are the wrap-up comments containing some terminal
observations of mine on a hunt for a theory money and financial institutions.
