In [4321] Alejandro V-B asked:

This is an interesting question. Unfortunately, someone on the list can't
answer the question satisfactorily since we don't presently have anyone
from that "school of thought" on OPE-L. [perhaps we should
consider inviting someone?].
In any event, you and others might find the following of interest
(although, it should be noted that not all of those listed below are
associated with _Monthly Review_ and not all of those associated with
_MR_ can be said to be adherents to the "Baran-Sweezy agenda").
in solidarity, Jerry
