[PEN-L:326] Interesting Stiglitz article

Here is an interesting article from the Sun. NY Times on Stiglitz. Note the reference on $500 per hour consulting fees. Stiglitz seems to be a cut above most of the establishment economists. Like Summers, he is all over the place in terms of his areas of study. He does not seem to have compromis

[PEN-L:324] Public Opinion & Structural Adjustment

An interesting note re: public opinion after 10+ years of structural adjustment. Latin Americans expect the government to intervene to solve employment-related problems. Surprising as it may seem after more than a decade of market-oriented reforms scaling back the public sector's involvement in e

[PEN-L:323] LBO web updates

I've just added two articles to the LBO web site , one on the Asian collapse and one on European Monetary Union. Both are clickable from the first screen, and are sprinkled with links and graphics. Plus updated U.S. employment, unemployment, and earni

[PEN-L:319] RE: spud-heads at work

Many years ago I worked for the US Department of Transportation, on a study of monopoly pricing in rail transport. Baumol was a hired gun of the industry, paid to write obtuse tomes explaining why monopoly pricing was impossible so long as a market was, theoretically, contestable by some other

[PEN-L:322] Wake Up Call

After years of free market rhetoric, could capital be coming to realize that it was shooting itself in the foot with its extremism? I just found a book Brown, Kenneth M. 1997. Downsizing Science: Will the United States Pay a Price? (Washington, DC : AEI Press) -- talk about a den of whores. The

My god, just as the flame war dies off, we reignite the thread on prostitution!!! Some time ago, Business Week had an article on Jerry's Hausman's entreprenurial work as an expert witness. Maybe someone can find the exact citation. I just wrote in about the salaries for the Microsoft witnesses.

[PEN-L:321] I need help from someone in Korea

Sorry to bother the rest of you, but I want to help him sub. My messages bounce back, so I don't know how to contact him. Since we have some people from Korea here, I thought that you could help. Just tell him to send his message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] sub pen-l Seongjin Jeong BUT first get the

[PEN-L:313] Re: Martin Niemoeller on "silence"

Yes, it was certainly amiss of me to call Gerry Levy un ouanquere. Two wrongs don't make a right and I was wrong to respond to his initial flaming of myself and Lou Proyect in the same manner. Mark Paul Zarembka wrote: > Martin Niemoeller's own personal history is not so great and it is in fac

[PEN-L:310] Re: Martin Niemoeller on "silence"

Gerry, there is nothing to defend. Those who know me (which you do not, and never will) know the utter, laughable absurdity of calling me homophobic. As for Paul Zarembka, whether or not he is a long-time, long-respected listee I know not; he like you almost never contributes to the list, except t

[PEN-L:312] Re: South Africa pension-stripping stalled

I think most responses by pen-l members to Taiwan's "immunity" from the Asian crisis are correct. Yes, the Chinese family enterprise is one (in Singapore as well) factor. Family enterprise is generally conservative and prefer sweat labor (self exploitation and of family members) to large exposur

[PEN-L:315] Alex Cockburn on the Verso edition of the Communist Manifesto

Commie Manifesto I called my publisher, Verso, the other day and found its executive director, Colin Robinson, exuberant over the success of its 150th anniversary edition of Marx and Engels's Communist Manifesto. He'd already sent me the sleek little book with its introduction by Eric Hobsbawm.

[PEN-L:317] final warning

This is the end. This flame war is over. I intend to unsub the next person to fan the flames. I am already getting notes from people threatening to unsub because of disgust by this behavior. Jerry may be right that I provoked this by asking for feedback. If so, I apologize. Thanks for unders

[PEN-L:311] Re: Martin Niemoeller on "silence"

Martin Niemoeller's own personal history is not so great and it is in fact that personal history that drove his comment. Niemoeller had NOT opposed the rise of Nazism as he hated the Weimar Republic. It was ONLY after Hilter was in power that he realized his own error. In other words, he waited
