The danger comes from the other industrial and household toxics that we put

does anyone know about the truth of the story (that circulated years ago
and I think first appeared in RAMPARTS magazine) that the Allied air forces
deliberately refrained from bombing GM- and Ford-owned factories in greater

Awhile back, I submitted the following comment to pen-l. Except for one
short note by Paul Phillips, there was no pen-l comment. Notably, both Bob
Pollin and Gil Skillman did not reply, even though my comments could easily

This pushes me to ask some questions: is it a mistake
I am in the process of writing a small and non-mathematical survey paper on
returns to R&D and a natural starting point was the the newly published
collection of articles by Zvi Griliches "R&D and productivity".

I thought the PR industry had rechristened this "biomass" or something like

that those economists among us could do more to help each other, enlighten each
other, and to find ways to contribute to social change.
Like Jim, I enjoy the banter as well as much of the other non-economic material,
The standard argument against redistributing the hours of work to reduce
unemployment involves reference to a "lump-of-labour fallacy" (of which much
more later) and a brief demonstration of how the presence of hiring and
training costs, which vary with the number of workers, would make such a
