Dear Neri, since I don't know how to send my file in post script and also that
many penners may not be able to access or bother to access a p.s. file, I'm
uploading a much cleaned up file this time. This time you may not have much
problem reading through it, though there would be some irretation h
This is a response to Cris Roberts' query about Mihailo Markovic.
(Sorry Jim Devine, there is a limit to the extent I can keep quiet.)
First, I must admit I do not know a great deal about Markovic and
his role in Yugo/Serb politics. What I do know is that he was a

Two points on on the Fed. First, all developers justify
environmental degradation on the grounds that the project
will bring jobs. The business leaders of California attack
regulation, taxes, workers rights on the grounds that all
of these are bad for business and changing them will bring
jobs.
The whole issue of Krugman has become a bit too personalized for my
tastes. The so-called new trade theory is not just a bit of intra
academic intrigue, but a lesson in how money and wealth affect the
course of ideas.
The idea of strategic trade actions was anathema within neo-classical

In an earlier posting Reeve correctly argues that the relationship
between education and progressive movements need not be positive. He
uses the BJP as an example and indicates that BJP's support comes from
the educated middle class. This is only partly true. The middle class

I enjoyed Barkley's post on Krugman. By the way, Michael Hudson's book, which
I touted before, Trade, Development and Foreign Debt, makes the case that Adam
Smith was well aware of the pre-Krugman literature, but falsified it and
distorted it.
He argued that Sir James Steuart and Josiah Tucker w
Those interested in the article by Krugman might also want
to check out a piece by Robert Solow in the magazine put out by
IIE (the name of the 'zine escapes me). Solow also argues that
too much has been made of "uncompetitive" social policies as an
explanation for European stagnation.
Response to Sid Shniad:
Krugman's media barrage about "competitiveness" is all
sour grapes over Laura Tyson getting the CEA Chair, which he
made sexist remarks about at the time. Apparently in a meeting

Trond: Urban "liberated areas" may not make much sense in a strict

Given several inquiries about my endorsement of Krugman's article,
I feel that a bit of clarification is in order:
I didn't praise Krugman's overall theoretical orientation. In all
honesty, I'm not familiar with it. And I have no interest in becoming
familiar with it.
It does not surprise

Dear Penl'ers:
In the discussion of recommended articles I have not seen reference to the

itself as a "progressive" publication. They have had a great discussion of

Re my first message on this topic:
I will add one more point which supports a new
liberation war paradigm:
The depopulation of the countryside, and growth of
megacities. You can't have liberated areas in a
meaningful sense in a city. This also underscores the
