Yes, and his stuff on time is great - overtime, break time, etc. Moments are the elements of profit, as one of his titles says. I've got a couple of interviews with him up at http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/Radio.html. Doug Michael Perelman wrote: yes. he does wonderful stuff.

Re: Why U.S. Labor Law Has Become a Paper Tiger
I didn't realise that he had become a legal specialist in Iowa. I admire his work at lot, even as I struggle with financial problems. The transition from economics to law happens to quite a number of economists and I often wonder what exactly motivates that, since, if you are an economist (which I am not, my Master's was in education) then one would think that there are more economically efficient methods for the administration of social justice than legal stuff. But there does seem to be something in human nature as we know it, which places limits on that. Michael Camdessus opined once that economics is in our genes (jeans ?) but in fact, even in the investigation of paid sex work, it is clear that human emotions do not truly have some kind of economy, at most an ecology. Bit of blog. I am personally inclined to the view that arbitrary violations of legal rules are not desirable. But in my somewhat klutzy Forrest Gump/Fight Club-type state I do engage in a bit of arbitrary behaviour, and I got to curb that. Main criticisms I had were too much false alarm, too much provocation, too much advertising. Sometimes it seems better not to share insights for the sake of one's responsibility to fellow citizens so as not to increase the volume of disappointment, which is ecologically preferable. Main thing about being more successful, is to get rid of past hurts and grievances as quickly as one can, change behaviour to fit with new circumstances, and just be kind, interesting and friendly to people and to yourself. But it ain't easy, at least not for me, I have to somehow tear myself out of past grief. Sociologically, Frederick Engels remarked upon the historic memory and persistence of oppressed nationalities which causes the struggle for justice by a people to continue for a very long time. But of course it could be made into a happier kind of struggle (?). I had a woman say of me once he still thinks he has to struggle, but I really felt there was not much depth of insight there :-) I got to get another job to pay the bills and get to where I want to go... economics still on my mind.
