In response to Michael Lebowitz's query about the consistency of
the proposed critique of political economy approach with working
through CAPITAL, I would say they're quite consistent if we allow for
continued brainstorming (especially of a topical nature) as part of
the process. Now I have a question: what do you have in mind in
terms of 'working through CAPITAL': chapter-by-chapter, section-by-
section, page-by-page, or what? We could get a thread started (and
people could take off from it including in directions oriented toward
empirically testable hypotheses, theoretical explanations of
empirically established 'stylized facts' etc. as well as more
historical-topical questions) once we decide how large the chunks of
CAPITAL are that we are considering at any one time. Paul Burkett
