Robert Vienneau -- from Rome, New York (USA) -- has joined the list. Some members might remember him as the author of a FAQ [Frequently Asked Questions] on the Labour Theory of Value - <http://www.dreamscape.com/rvien/Economics/Essays/LYV-FAQ.html>. He provides a lot more information about himself below: > I am a professional software engineer who studies political economy as > a hobby. When I was much younger I came across a reference to Joan > Robinson as "British John Galbraith". Since I had always enjoyed > Galbraith's writings, I started to read some of Robinson. Through her, > I found out about Sraffa. > > I have since studied more of the Cambridge Capital Controversy. I was > astonished to fnd out that basically almost all of the economics I had > taken in college had been demonstrated mistaken at least a decade before > I went to college. I am more interested in the use of Sraffa as a broom - > to remove mistaken theories - than as a brick - to build new theories > on. > > I have two journal publications: > > "On Labour Demand and Equilibria of the Firm", _The Manchester School_, > V. 73, N. 5 (Sep.): 612-619. > > "The Present Value of Software Maintenance", _Journal of Parametrics_, > April 1992. > > I suppose I should also mention this page: > > <http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/cf_dev/AbsByAuth.cfm?per_id=457402> Robert's e-mail address: <rvien@dreamscape.com> Robert: Welcome aboard! In solidarity, Jerry
