Well there's an easy solution to Jurriaan's stingy travel budget :-), comrade Costas: skype it. We do this all the time (http://www.ukzn.ac.za/ccs). Just open up a skype conference call and stick your computer next to a speaker so people can dial in and hear the presentations. (I'd be a listener, for sure.) Cheers, Patrick (on my way, this morning, to a UMass Amherst conference on financialisation in honour of the great applied economist Jane D'Arista) Costas Lapavitsas wrote: > Jurriaan's points are well-taken but there will only be 12 papers - not 16.

Whew. What could they say in such a brief time? Traveling there and back in one day from here takes about 220 euro or so, and I can't find a flight here yet so I would arrive exactly on time. You can really only do this comfortably if you live in London area already and/or stayed longer with somebody there. As I am interested in content, I'm better off getting their publications, I would say. Perhaps they would publish a symposium of papers? > > J. > > > _______________________________________________ > ope mailing list > ope@lists.csuchico.edu > https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/ope > > > _______________________________________________ ope mailing list ope@lists.csuchico.edu https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/ope
