Deregulation surely does not minimize transportation costs for smaller
communities and to distant communities. For them deregulation is often a

Why would you think that the airlines would necessarily be in lock step
with big money in general. David, you keep referring to how marxists
think. Marx himself distinguished between capital in general and specific
capitals. Airline deregulation was a wedge. The airlines were
non-competitive,

Michael, I don't know what your point is. I hope that you are not
starting a good Mao/bad Mao debate.
I recall that when mainstream Western agricultural types first visited
China after the Nixon visit, they were astounded by the way the Chinese
were able to feed so many people on such poor land.

David, if he does not do it on his own, you should prompt Doug Henwood to
answer your question regarding the increasing use of the airlines.
Liberals and conservatives often come together in matters of deregulation
-- mostly on the grounds that the free market can eliminate some kind of
problem.
Mr. Proyect --
Your post brought back wonderful memories of a paper I wrote as a freshman
in college entitled "The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978." As a right-wing
ideologue who had read Mancur Olson and other public choice theorists, I

unnecessary controversy. It just confuses matters.

While P questions the western model of developmet, he still seeks
to convince us that the Chinese model achieved the "highest
agricultural yields in the world" due to their efficient land-saving
practices. That they were as efficient, as rational, as developed, as
powerful as the westerners. T
