Rakesh and others: you may find the following retrospective by Arrighi to be of interest: http://fbc.binghamton.edu/gaasa96.htm Your mentioning of Arrighi's recent _New Left Review_ article reminded me, in a strange way, that the death of Mark Jones has not been noted on this list. Mark, who long-time members might recall from the long-defunct marxism list and the marxism-international list, died on April 9 after a long illness with cancer. He was a young man -- in his 50s. After making his (in)famous remarks about _NLR_ in March 1997 on M-INT (and other equally memorable destructive remarks), he went on to found the Crash-List which became the A-List. He is being fondly, but uncritically, remembered on many other "marxism" lists. In death as in life we should remember both the good and the bad. Mark was very good and very bad. In solidarity, Jerry
