Phil O'Hara,
Trond,
In the course of your discussion of the sources/causes of crises, you
say that "Money as a necessary transport medium for production will
to a gradually stronger degree be withdrawn from circulation in the
productive sector, and instead circulate in the financial sphere."
Unfortunate
I am delighted with and supportive of Virendra Singh's
desire for a shift away from reform and toward replacement.
Over ten years ago some students and I at the U. of Illinois

I like Trond's second theory. In a stagnant economy, if lenders
accumulate assets, then borrowers either lose assets or
accumulate debts (or both). But can we find out from this
dynamic why the economy has become stagnant? Here I'm not sure.

Incentives were no more needed in the U.S. than in Norway as

The school system in Norway is nearly purely public, and the general
agreement is that it is quite good (it is being eroded somewhat now in
Norway because of hard cuts done by a social-democrat
government which is besotted by market liberalism).

The interesting thing in the discussion of privatization of public
schools is how simplistic it is. (Wait . . . . What was I thinking of?
This is America with a public school system that now seems directed to
dumbing people so that they possess the skills employers want - no more

I did not mean to indicate a moral defect in Alan's behavior. Part of the
equation is that children are held hostage in the war against public education.

Michael, I understand your reaction, but it seems to miss the
boat in several ways. First, isn't it the case that the affluent
have always opted out? What is new is the increased interest of
the middle class in opting out. However, even this is not really
new. Public schools have never been equita

I don't know whether you saw our recent article on population control, but
your comments would in fact make a good response to it, and if possible,
I would like to publish some version of them in the next issue of the magazine.
Please let me know if you might be interested.

Alan Isaacs illustrates how effective the privatization movement is.
The state cuts back on education or some other private service. The service
becomes stigmatized. The affluent opt for private substitutes. The public
