Again, sorry if this already came up.
Blaug has an article and interview in the recent Challenge really
criticizing mainstream economics. It's not perfect--and he makes the
bizarre claim if I read this right that Sraffian econ is postmodern!--but
he attacks the mainstream journals, the mainstrea
I only recently resigned onto Pen-l so apologies if any of this came up
already.
Baumol had always struck me as *relatively* better than a lot of the
younger neoclassicals. First, he seemed to be genuinely interested in
Marx and history of economic thought, including the transformation

I have not seen Blaug's article, but it sounds like him. In person, he is
an abrasive figure, quick to pound on unsuspecting young economists.
I also had lunch with him once. When the young black waitress asked him
how he would want his coffee, he answered, "black, just like my women."

My apologies!!! I plead guilty to non-definitition of a term and apologize
for my hurried mistake. I plead not guilty to the Washington jargon charge
-- this was PEN-l jargon. I guess no-one remembers the great PN/PI debate[s]
on PEN-L over trade and globalization.
No shared history I guess.
The anti-union initiative was defeated, but it cost $11 million. I am not sure
that the result constitutes a victory when it costs so much.

Contrary to what Wolfie says in this article, I have heard that he did

But no matter. The damage is done. Everyone in Washington who cares knows
that the chief economist of the World Bank and the former head of Clinton's
