My excuse for not posting more, either about the economy or anything
else, is time crunch. I've just moved to a new job, and both the move
and the job have cut into my e-mail time. For those interested, my new
address and phone number at work are:
Peter Dorman
The Evergreen State College
Olympia, WA 98505

At some point I would like to share my experiences this summer leading
an overseas study program on transition in Hungary, Slovenia, and the
Czech Republic. Without going into details, I think PEN-Lers will be
pleased to hear that the more dogmatically right-wing a country's
leadership is, the worse it's doing in the transition game.

ps: For my teaching here at Evergreen I've prepared a 30-odd page
handout, "The Collective Action Problem: A Social Movement
Perspective". In a week or so I will have a final version, which I will
be happy to send out (electronically) to anyone interested.
