For those followers of New Zealand on the list, the following NZ
Press Association item will be of interest, particularly since the
period covers most of the economic restructuring which began in 1984.

What about spending per household on yachts?
Yeah, that's a serious question. NZ has, by far, the highest per capita
rate of recreational boat ownership. Boat ownership in NZ is certainly not
limited to the wealthy, moreover, and extends to a large percentage of
working class families. Yet, the

Many thanks to Thad Williamson for the clarification and elaboration of his
project. I agree, of course that there are many other types of alternatives to
capitalism than market socialism and that these have been elaborated by

In my course this term on International Political Economy we used David

since Paul Zarembka invoked my name in the current discussion of
kicking Shawgi Tell off of pen-l, I guess I have to weigh in
say something (though the penultimate verb suggests that I have
to cut back on doughnuts).
Since pen-l is Michael Perelman's salon, kicking people off of

issues. Both are calling for drug testing of inmates. Both present crime
and drugs as problems of individuals, who must be made to pay the price.
What they don't talk about is the blatant racism of the so-called "war on
Eric, Your dynamic efficiency type argument has been around in the Oz
literature. It has been applied to the argument as to whether a
centralized wage fixing system is more efficient than a decentralised
one.
Higher (minimum) wages may also promote higher physical capital

Does anybody know of any studies relating degrees of
environmental enforcement and overall economic performance

Eric, you should have gotten a sample copy of "Social Justice in Political
