I have been reading a very nice article about the railroad industry of the
19th-century. Some of it is not entirely new -- for those of you familiar

Hi Jurriaan,
My friend Bernie, who is a jazz afficiando, went to
Cuba and was very impressed with the amount of music
surrounding him. At almost every cafe, there were
people singing or making music of one sort or another.

I have problems with the idea that we have to choose between emphasizing
imperial extraction or domestic surplus extraction. I think both were
very important.

Louis,
You are correct. Ceteris paribus, slavery (formal or de facto) in modern
capitalism is bound to increase in the future. This has to do not just with

chocolate covered ants at the farmers' market in Los

Hi Mike,
Great you're back again. I don't think that Jim should eat insects. But look
at it this way, if present trends continue, then within a few hundred years
there might be little else to eat. A Toronto research institute did research
on this, and found that if you fry them properly, certain i
