>Where did Hayek use that metaphor?

"The Austrian Critique", The Economist, 11 June, 1983 pp.45-8 as 
reported in GR Steele The Economics of Friedrich Hayek. I think 
Justin's interest in Hayek only extends to the socialist calculation 
debate, not his theory of capital and business cycles?

I do think there is a question of whether there is any similarity in 
Hayek's (implicit) critique of Keynesian demand management and your 
and Brenner's criticism of the contradictory effects of Keynesian 
stimulus policies.

If I remember correctly, Marxists such as John Strachey in the Nature 
of Capitalist Crises and Leo Huberman in Man's Worldly Goods tried to 
show how  Marxian theory captured the strong sides of the Hayekian 
and Keynesian diagnoses of the Depression while presenting a clear 
alternative in both theoretical and practical implications.

Where did Hayek use that metaphor?  Also, I discussed the overlap between H*yek and
Marx before in my Marx book, but the overlap I emphasized was in the relationship
between crises and problems in coordination via the market.

If the many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory is true, yes. ;-)

Enron Bankruptcy Lawyers' Bill: $8 Million


By Carrie Johnson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, February 22, 2002; Page E04



In every scandal, there are winners and losers. The lawyers usually
are among the winners.

Consider U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, where Enron Corp.'s law
firms filed more than $8 million worth of bills for their first month
on the job.

Weil, Gotshal & Manges, Enron's lead lawyers in the bankruptcy
reorganization, asked for $5.4 million for their services in December.
The figure includes $3 million in lawyers' time -- including $700 an
hour for senior partner Ira Millstein and $685 an hour for partners
Greg Danilow and Martin Bienenstock -- $169,883 for copying and
$89,799 for computer research, according to court documents the law
firm filed filed Wednesday.

Andrews & Kurth, another firm representing the debtors, requested
$1.54 million in fees and $78,838 in expenses. Cadwalader, Wickersham
& Taft of New York asked for $237,734. LeBoeuf, Lamb, Greene & MacRae
racked up $650,000 in lawyer and paralegal time and $56,000 in
expenses. And Togut, Segal & Segal sought $208,829 in fees and another
$36,241 in expenses.

The lawyers weren't the only ones lining up this week. Ernst & Young
Corporate Finance LLC charged $586,609 for providing restructuring
advice from December to late January.

No word yet on when Judge Arthur J. Gonzalez will review the bills.
