I have been very busy and unable to the two follow the value theory debates closely.
Although several people have claimed to be ready to stop participating in the discussion it keeps going on. The discussion seems to be getting more and more heated. That must stop. There are more than 400 people on pen-l, but only a few are participating. Of these, I'm not sure how many are listening to what other people are saying. What might be useful would be a somebody would objectively say what the issue is and what the stakes are -- not by attributing views the other people, but just laying them out in a concise manner. Otherwise, I think it's time to put this puppy to bed. I find it ironic that while the U.S. economy is in at least a mini-crisis, with the economic downturn and the panic over Enron and Global Crossings, virtually nothing has been said about what's going on here and now. -- Michael Perelman Economics Department California State University [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chico, CA 95929 530-898-5321 fax 530-898-5901
