I am pleased to be able to tell you that we have added a new member -- Paul Cooney. Although Paul maintains an apartment in Brooklyn, he is currently doing research in Brazil. In addition to what he writes below, Paul [another Paul! ; another Paul C!] is also part of the editorial collective of "Gloves Off" [http://www.glovesoff.org ]. Many listmembers probably remember Paul from past IWGVT mini-conferences. The following is a summary -- a copy of his resume is attached which includes a lot more information. ---------------------------- ----------------------------------------- I received my PhD. from the New School for Social Research in 1990. The title of my dissertation is: Competition vs. Monopoly: An Input-Output Analysis of the U.S.: 1958-1977. During the 1990s, I lived in Argentina and began research on Argentina's economic history and on Merocsur at that time. Upon returning to the US, I began to work on labor and environmental issues in the context of NAFTA and the maquiladora sector in Mexico. From 1996-2004, I was a research associate at the Center for the Biology of Natural Systems at Queens College and diversified into more environmental research. As of last July, I moved down to Brazil with the intention of concentrating on my political economy research and am currently studying issues of labor in the context of Mercosul and the FTAA and beginning a book evaluating a quarter-century of the neoliberal model in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. Other research interests of mine are (1) value theory:- competition, international transfers of value and unequal exchange; (2) Globalization: Neoliberalism, Financial Crises, International Trade and (3) Development: Regional Trading Blocs, Third World Debt. Teaching interests I have taught several courses on Capital at the Brecht Forum and one course on Volume 3 at the UBA (Buenos Aires University) in Argentina. In addition to teaching Capital , I have taught several courses on Globalization and Neoliberalism in recent years. Other: I am currently a member of the Capitalism, Nature, Socialism New York editorial board, and former Treasurer and steering committee member of URPE. List of publications: "Towards an Empirical Measurement of International Transfers of Value " in The New Value Controversy and the Foundations of Economics, (eds.
