PHIL DUNN has joined OPE-L. Many members of the list know Phil from his presentations on value theory at the Eastern Economics Association. He lives in London and has been an avid reader of the OPE-L archives. In the following, he introduces himself: *************************************************** I live in London and work as a computer programmer. I was trained as a physicist but lost interest many years ago. In the mid eighties I happened to read Farjoun and Machover's book 'Laws of Chaos'. I have been hooked on the probabilistic approach to the theory of value and exploitation ever since. Another early influence was Scot Meikle's Aristotelian Marxism. Studying Aristotle took up the late 80s and early 90s. I spent the latter part of the 90s pleasantly marooned in the second millennium BCE courtesy of Martin Bernal. Though the Internet I belatedly discovered that things had been going on in Marxian political economy -- the 'New Approach' and Non-dualism, particularly but also the value-form strand. I came across the IWGVT and started submitting papers to the EEA conference. These are on my website www.pscumnud.dircon.co.uk. Only the latest paper engages with the 'recent' developments. My research interests are extremely narrow: core value theory, joint production problems and, as offshoots, the productive/unproductive labour distinction and two department models. My current projects are entitled 'Intrinsic Value and Natural Price' , which distinguishes these notions but does not see them as incompatible (natural price is a price immune from market fluctuation; price of production is one possibility but I am looking for another), and 'Pure Joint Products: A Fresh Start' , which develops a non-Sraffian treatment of the issue of positivity. ************************************************** Phil's email address: pscumnud@dircon.co.uk Phil: Welcome aboard!
