> what happened to the whole serious theoretical discussion on this list? Dogan: There has been *many, many* serious theoretical discussions on OPE-L in the last three months alone. *Which of the following threads would you say was a discussion that wasn't "serious"?* January, 2008 ========== * labor theory of value and trade * economic calculation * rising primary commodities = rising land prices * levels of abstraction * Lapavitsas on the financial crisis * "parasitism" of the service sector? * productive and unproductive labor and forms of surplus value * 1,2,3 many departments? * Fred's argument about the 'deduction' * domestic labor * The Moseley paradox and stock/flow definitions / the lump of surplus value fallacy * accumulation of capital and the working class - actual non-existence of variable capital * glossary for Volume 1 of Capital * the phenomenology of prices * imperialism in our century February, 2008 =========== * studying unproductive labor: CEPR report * valuations, Austrians and Kantoravitch * theory of trade, the world market and state * power * leave the oil in the soil? * Alexander Cockburn on carbon catastrophism * devaluation and revaluation of variable capital * Marxian equilibrium * levels of abstraction (continued) March, 2008 ========= * The Financial Times and the Left haven't a clue * estimating the severity and duration of a capitalist economic crisis * Anwar Shaikh on GDP and income distribution * England and Ireland * one of the great inventions of the 20th century? (GDP) * Marx and Darwin * capitalist states, imperialism and militarism * Francis Wheen, "Capital Crimes" * unproductive labor (continued) (Obviously we didn't _just_ discuss "serious theoretical" issues: we discussed, for instance, the passing of Andrew Glyn and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela internal ballot. Those weren't "theoretical" topics, but I thought they were meaningful and serious discussions.) You obviously haven't been paying attention to what we have been discussing to make such an erroneous assertion. I think you owe all of those who participated in the above discussions a huge apology.
