Välkommen! Kind regards Martin -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: OPE-L [mailto:OPE-L@SUS.CSUCHICO.EDU] För ope-admin@RICARDO.ECN.WFU.EDU Skickat: den 21 november 2007 19:33 Till: OPE-L@SUS.CSUCHICO.EDU Ämne: [OPE-L] Dave Zachariah Dave Z, from Stockholm, Sweden, is the newest member of our list. His writings concerning Marxian empirical studies have been referred to repeatedly on OPE-L and he has been following our discussions through the archives. Indeed he wrote to say that: > I began studying political economy in late 2002 and benefited a lot > from the wealth of knowledge embodied in the OPE-L archive. I think it's pretty impressive, frankly, that someone who has been studying political economy only since 2002 has been able to research and publish so much - especially when you consider the quantity of statistics analysed from different countries in a recent paper! Dave goes on to say (quite modestly!): > I'm heavily > influenced by Farjoun and Machover's "Laws of Chaos" and the work by > Allin Cottrell and Paul Cockshott. Their contributions put the > writings of "the classics" as a secondary issue and instead focus on > empirical reality and developing tools to model it. In short, to me > political economy is more important than the history of economic > thought. I have made some minor contributions to the empirical study > of the labour theory of value and the theory of productive labour. I > currently work as an engineer in Stockholm. Dave Z: welcome aboard! In solidarity, Jerry
