I am looking for a collaborator in carrying out the research projects of
absolute value, the ownership of the person, the ownership of
labor-power,
the concept of human rights.
I am at present an associate professor at the Department of
Administration
and Philosophy, Northwest University, P. R.
I'm going to be away for a couple days. I know that the mess in
Yugoslavia is a perfect situation to get people riled up with each
other. Please, play nicely.

Just a minor point about that Mobil ad. Their chart on child labor
uses official data for the wealthier countries, but this data is completely
misleading. The vast majority of child labor in all countries that
