 I am able to announce, at long last, that I have finished the shipping
 version of Rice and Beans, a game I developed to demonstrate the
 critique of orthodox trade theory and its significance for the
 trade/environment debate.  (The same critique is easily extended to the
 trade/labor debate.)  The game is not especially fun to play -- it
 consists of six rounds, each illustrating a trade-and-regulation
 scenario -- and a lot of numbers get concocted and added up, but it does
 take players rather far into a stylized Post Keynesian universe
 (unemployment, imbalanced trade) in which a race to the bottom is a real
 possibility.  It is suitable for groups of 10-50 or so, and it takes
 about two hours to play, including the final discussion.  It has been
 classroom-tested.  (Please, no criticism from People for the Ethical
 Treatment of Students.)
 
 The game is contained in three files, available as WordPerfect or pdf: a
 six-page handount distributed to all players, one-page forms for players
 playing key roles, and a three-page user guide.
 
 Ask (offline) and ye shall receive.

Oops.  I apologize to the assembled multitude -- didn't check to see whether
the message was off-list.
