To Paul B.: no the papers are not on line. They arrived too late, and a lot of them are incomplete (including mine). I will put together a book from them (thoroughly revised), to be published in 2006. If somebody is interested to my paper, I can send it as attachment. The other papers available from authors (who can decide if to send them in its present version) are: Zarembka, Kowalik, Halevi, Trigg, Toporowski, He Ping, Veneziani, Panaccione, Mattick jr, Panaccione. To Jerry: you were right about the wine. To Rakesh: I do not understand very much what you mean about the sparks. What is for sure is that what made interesting the conference were not merely the papers, but the discussions around them. The points of view were disparate, but the debate was always very instructive - I have learnt a lot also from positions with which I disagree a lot. Dissent was always respectful of the other. So, this is a case in which the atmosphere could have been caught being there - and told being much more fluent in English than I am. An interesting part of the conference was in Italian, the two round-tables, when for once the hall was not made by the participants plus a couple of persons more but of almost a 100 people. I hope that the participants understood the discussion, with a simultaneous translation in English which I doubt was actually good. The aim was to take Luxemburg seriously, and I hope we succeeded in doing that. riccardo At 20:38 +0000 2-01-2005, Paul Bullock wrote: >Gerry, > >will the papers be online? > >Paul B. >----- Original Message ----- >From: <Gerald_A_Levy@MSN.COM> >To: <OPE-L@SUS.CSUCHICO.EDU> >Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2005 12:49 PM >Subject: [OPE-L] The Rosa Luxemburg and the Critique of Political Economy >Conference > > >> > I am wondering whether sparks flew at the Luxemburg >> > conference, >> >> Rakesh, >> >> This comment puzzled me.
