In reply to Eric Nilsson looking for readings for an intro course on economic issues, Dollars & Sense will have such a reader available for the spring. It will be a revision of our "Decoding the Contract" (as in the Contract with America" volume, and will be titled "Current Economic Issues: Progressive Perspectives from Dollars & Sense." I will post the table of contents in a later message; we will be sending out a mailing to all previous desk copy requesters within a few weeks, and desk copies will be available early in December. The tentative price is $8.50. Marc Breslow.
