I propose that, from now on, we FIRSLY send our posts to Paul
so that he decides "what is covered" and "what is not covered in
Capital". (I assume that we can discuss what "is covered" in
another Marx's books, like Contribution, or Theories...) Then, he
could forward only what is relevant for the list. This would save us a
lot of reading.
Hope we can vote soon about this practical reorganization of ope-l!!
BTW, I worked for 1 year in a research center on international
economics in La Habana, Cuba. In this --supposedly "highly
controlled" academic place, with a lot of "hard-line Stalinists"--
I NEVER HEARD a proposal like Paul's!!
