OPE-Lers:
This is a posting that I originally forwarded to NEA-L (National Economics
Association List). NEA-L (Patrick L. Mason, list manager) has a large number
of African American economists. The list has no official tie with the
National Economics Association, which publishes the Review of Black
Political Economy. Anyway, the proposition below has received some support
among NEA-L members and I'd like to know the reaction of OPE-L members.
Please send you posts to directly to me at Patrick.L.Mason.20@nd.edu since
this really isn't a topic of direct relevance to OPE-L. Also, please forward
to femecon, pen-l, and other groups which might be interested in the issue.
peace, patrick l mason
