Just for interest's sake perhaps you'd be amused that I downloaded the Pen-L copy of Greider, printed it out, and presented it today to two classes of intro econ at the public policy grad school I'm now attached to here in Johannesburg. This was to 60 students (95% black) with no background in econ and very little handle on the way the world economy works. Very intimidated group, but anxious to get literate. What a good reaction to Greider, and appreciation for his lucid, nicely-documented arguments, embedded with the contradictions of K -- and for me an easy way to introduce Marx, organic composition of K, and overaccumulation plus financial bubbles. Thanks Louis for putting it up. Ciao!
