_mlebowit@SFU.CA_ (mailto:mlebowit@SFU.CA) : I have appreciated many of the exchanges on the list and have learned from them (but hope that I will not be accused of plagiarism in the future as others have been). ======================= Michael, a good new year's resolution. Do not worry about plagiarism. I do not know what happened in the past. But I assure you (following your maxim about combating another sort of liberalism) I will be one of the first attack back those who dare even think loudly to accuse people of plagiarism on this list. We have here a collective aim and in the process of pursuing this goal we all contribute to one anothor's intellectual development. I just want to remind us of what Hegel says in his critique of Descartes and his followers: before we can say mine and thine we have to say ours. I add: we can say mine and thine just because it is ours. In short, knowledge economy is a myth and intellectual property is another sort of fetishism we have to combat. Comrately, Dogan. ======================= Michael A. Lebowitz Professor Emeritus Economics Department Simon Fraser University Burnaby, B.C., Canada V5A 1S6 Currently based in Venezuela.
