An announcement for a new journal by and for (non-radical; non-heterodox) economists. Some listmembers may recall from other lists the flap caused by the co-editor, Brad DeLong, following the death of Paul Sweezy. His controversial article is at http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/movable_type/2004_archives/000386.html (some measure of the ensuing furor can be seen if you do an advanced 'google' search using the words 'delong' and 'sweezy'). In solidarity, Jerry >> From: "Joseph Stiglitz, Aaron Edlin & Bradford Delong" >> <mm-9249-1747304@b...> >> Date: September 20, 2004 8:45:41 PM EDT >> To: foleyd@n... >> Subject: Announcing The Economists' Voice >> Reply-To: "Joseph Stiglitz, Aaron Edlin & Bradford Delong" >> <mm-9249-1747304@b...> >> >> The Berkeley Electronic Press and editors Joseph Stiglitz, J.
