Interesting post from Lou that I am by and large in agreement with. As a longtime resident of Madison, Wisconsin and regular visitor there, let me add a few further points about Wright. Besides Morris, some other influences on Wright included New England Unitarian

[PEN-L:1020] Re: unemployed Ph.D.'s

Based on what I have just heard at the SEA meetings, the academic job market in econ has changed massively for the better this year. Of course that still does not apply to radicals and heterodox folks. But then the study cited by Lou does not address that issue at all. Barkley Rosser On

[PEN-L:1011] Duchesne on Althusser

Ricardo, when you write I think an outright rejection of empiricism within Marxism does amount to theoretical closure, which is what Stalinism was, are you still accepting Althusser's argument that the rejection of humanity having an "essence" necessarily implies the rejection of empiricism?
