Re David Y's [6914]:

Just came back from the Socialist Scholars Conference
where I picked-up a flyer  on "CHE GUEVARA ON POLITICAL 
ECONOMY"  which describes a new publishing project of the works 
of Guevara  by The Che Guevara Studies Center (Havana) and Ocean 
Press,  an independent progressive publisher from Australia. 

The flyer reports on three upcoming Guevara books:

* THE GREAT DEBATE ON POLITICAL ECONOMY: by Guevara,
Mandel, Bettelheim et al  (300 pages; ISBN 1-876175-54-0; Fall, 2002)

* GLOBAL JUSTICE: LIBERATION AND SOCIALISM (only 88
pages; ISBN 1-876175-45-1; also available in Spanish)

and

*CRITICAL NOTES ON POLITICAL ECONOMY*

This last book contains previously unpublished materials. The
person that I talked to at the Ocean Press table told me that,
among other things, it will contain for the first time his notes on
_Capital_.  The flyer also describes it as a "highly controversial
book" in which there is "Che's major critique of the Soviet economic 
model and a challenging assessment of the economic experiences
of the Cuban Revolution". (forthcoming in 2003)

  Unfortunately someone has borrowed all my selected writings of Che in English. However you can read Che Guevara Economics and politics in the Transition to Socialism by Carlos Tablada Pathfinder 1989 ... See preface p16 for particular reference to his reading of Capital many times etc. Read his articles on Value, and on the Soviet budgetary system among many economic writings and you will become convinced of this point. The Tablada book is crucial...

   When you write that Guevara studied _Capital_ "in great
  depth",  could you provide some more details?
