Here he tells us a little about his interests: ------------------------------------- My work includes The Economics of the Oil Crisis (St. Martin's, 1985), in which I have originally developed Marxian Theories of Oil Rents, Oil Crisis, and Globalization of the Oil Industry. I also extended those theories to US foreign policy elsewhere. I have written extensively about the 'Pax Americana' and its demise due to the forces of globalization, and decline of US hegemony (ala Gramsci). Since mid-1980s, I have been working on the notions of 'globalization,' 'technological change,' and 'skill formation' in capitalism. And labor co-editor, Beyond Survival: Wage Labor in the Late Twentieth Century, M.E. Sharpe, 1996). Finally, I am also specialized on Political Islam and Iran (co-editor, Modern Capitalism and Islamic Ideology in Iran, Macmillan, 1992). ------------------------------------- Cyrus: welcome aboard! In solidarity, Jerry
