There is one feature of this that is beginning to intrigue me. The Guardian, which I read every day, has been anti-Corbyn from the beginning. It has also come out and backed Cooper. Nonetheless, in key articles by its economic correspondents Elliott and Milne, support has been demonstrated for Corbyn's Keynesian leanings. Cooper's attacks in particular have been rejected. So if one wants Keynes, one has to support Corbyn. Interesting. But for me the most important aspect of the talk of Keynesian economics is that it represents a fissure in the monolith of TINA (There is no alternative). That is why I tell people to read Krugman. It creates movement at an intellectual level and gets people beyond the fast thinking of TINA. At political level, my support from broad political formations and for Corbyn's campaign is that at the political level, he also represents a challenge to TINA. It is the thought that there was no alternative to the foul alliance of Toryism and New Labourism that has driven millions to despair and apathy. But there is a lesson for us in how Corbyn's campaign has been able to put a dint in the apathy and hence in the *status quo*. comradely Gary _________________________________________________________ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
