Doug Henwood suggested that the left is losing its appeal partly
because its becoming more "mealy-mouthed" he joined company with

Crisis may have a restorative role in the era of small enterprises
that are forced to adjust to the conditions of the Depression but as the
1930's showed, another factor, in addition to intensified class
struggle, which obstructs a recovery is the ability of large
enterprises (IBM, GM, Ford) t
Do the studies that link the education of women with a reduction in
population growth specify the type of education? One poster has suggested it
may simply be a matter of teaching women reliable methods of birth control.
Another mentions literacy. Is it specifically literacy that has the desire

As I look around URPE the fear is that the average age is advancing about
a year per year. Even as a reformer or worse I can realize that we need to
do something to make the group seem more with-it. I suggest that we change
the name to the Union of Totally Rad Political Economy.
The Population discussion continues...
The point I was trying to make is simple and quite oldfashioned. As Peter
Robertson comes half way to accept that "there is clearly a simultaneity here
which is hard to intangle". It is unfortunate that Peter deleted my final
sentence, "Thus, population is n

My sense is that the Southern opposition was tied up intricately with
subordination of the black labor pool in the South -- not surprisingly, you
need to look at race and gender along with class to understand Southern
opposition to a federal AFDC benefit.

terrific anecdote
If people want to pursue the history of business opposition to AFDC, one
place to start is Winifred Bell's classic book on AFDC (entitled _Aid to

makes similar points is Jill Quadagno in Weir, Orloff and Skocpol, _The

The idea of repressing the R in URPE reminds me of Cardenas' electoral
strategy in Mexico. In the interest of winning friends on Wall Street and
the Mexican upper middle class, Cardenas and his party softened their
message, and became the friends of free trade and marketization. So they
