       Sub-total:                 26
        TOTAL:                  81



III.   DIVERSITY BY GENDER

        For current members:

        Male Members:          72
        Women Members:        9

        For former members:

        Male Members:           13
        Women Members:         2



IV.  DIVERSITY BY OCCUPATION

I believe the following is the break-down for 
current subscribers -- 

Of  a total of 81:

-- 68 are *economists*. 

   Of this #, the overwhelming amount are
   academics. 4 of this # are graduate students;
   2 are independent economists; 1 works for 
   a central bank.

Of the remaining 13, 

-- 7 are *academics* who teach in *other 
      fields*. 

   This includes:   accounting,  cultural studies, 
   law,    philosophy (2), political   science, 
   sociology (2).  

The remaining 6 (of the 13 above) include
   writers (2), self-employed, unknown (3).


V.  OTHER MEASURES OF DIVERSITY


I am not including a break-down in terms of 

a) schools of thought; or

b) areas of interest and expertise.

I think that such a tabulation would be very
problematic. 

Yet, certain general points can be made:

1) we have a *very* diverse list in terms of
different Marxist perspectives on political 
economy. Most, but not all, major perspectives
internationally are represented.

2) I believe it can be said that we are *less
diverse* in terms of areas of interest and fields
of specialization than 1).  The interest of a
large percentage of listmembers seems to be 
topics related to value theory.

------------------------

IN CONCLUSION,  we remain a VERY
DIVERSE list -- as expressed in a variety
of measures used above.  YET, it can no 
really be said that we are a "SMALL" list. 
In the future, we will need to (continue to)
give consideration to INCREASING THE
DIVERSITY of the list while EXTENDING
THE RANGE of our discussions and
INCREASING PARTICIPATION RATES
by listmembers.


In solidarity, Jerry
