This is a time for celebration. It is also a time to capitalize on our victory by intensifying the struggle for pluralism, especially pluralism *within* radical economics. >We faced a far richer and more powerful adversary, the Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE). But what proved to be more important than money and power is what *we* had -- the knowledge that our cause is just, and the determination to fight for it to the end, without regard for the consequences.< Jim Devine writes: no comment. ^^^^^^^^ CB: Reminds of what Marx's mother said about _Capital_: Never has money been written about so much in the presence of so little of it.
