It is about whether the Asiatic Mode of Production is a valid scientific view or something mired in Eurocentric conceptions of the early 19th century. The whole point of Frank's scholarship (and Blaut's) is to refute this theory and the generally inaccurate--and often racist--world view it is built on. Let me repeat. This is about the Asiatic Mode of Production, not "political correctness". Louis Proyect (The Marxism mailing list: http://www.marxmail.org)
