Could anyone out there tell me where I will find the recent debate between
David Harvey and John Bellamy Foster on the character of the enviromental
crisis ?
I thought it was in a recent _MR_ but my search led me nowhere.
Thanks in advance,

I absolutely refuse to use the used-and-abused word "tragedy" to describe
Diana's untimely death. To call it a "tragedy" raises it to a level of
historical significance which only validates the tabloid and mainstream
press' morbid veneration of that completely disgusting institution, celebrified
Pen-L'ers,
Now that the UPS strike is over and the IBT has more or less "won"
(although as one person here astutely remarked, the proof in the
pudding rests with whether or not militant rank-and-filers are
hired back and harassed), I wanted to throw out a few provocative
remarks/questions
Jim,
I usually agree with or at least enjoy what you write, but I
could not let aspects of your blindsiding rant go undisturbed.
Historically, anarchists have done very little for anybody or
any just causes; often they have served repressive powers-that-be as
wreckers obsessed with their own
I know one treads on dangerous ground when one uses the denotation
"fascism" in a pejorative way, but after reflecting on the subject
for a while and gathering some fragmentary information, I don't see
why it is inaccurate to label Buchanan at least a "proto-fascist."
Many on the left label
Other than bemoaning the lack of national loyalty of U.S. TNC's as
a recruiting device for the "anxious classes," does Buchanan actually
have a _plan_ to rein in capital mobility ?
To the best of my (admittedly limited) knowledge, Buchanan has concrete
plans for sealing off U.S. borders,
In the U.S., consumer spending on household durables like furniture and
appliances has been slowing for a number of months, and manufacturers are
cutting back production and laying off workers. At the same time, office
and factory automation system producers are doing a booming business.
Someone sent a post recently wondering if self-dubbed progressive economists
had anything of worth to contribute to a concrete discussion about the
current conjuncture of U.S. capitalism.
I'm not an economist, but in the spirit of the question posed, and from
my vantage point as a resident of
Someone asked why college tuitions are skyrocketing much greater than the
rate of inflation. My understanding is that it has something to do with
boards of trustees, etc., undertaking massive capital improvement drives
(i.e. building high-tech bioengineering and other hard science labs) in

While fidelity to the gospel should not be the measure of
the truth of any statement regarding crisis, I too find
the notion of permanent crisis to be somewhat ridiculous.
There's the Luxemburg variety, which asserts that capitalism
