For those of you who, like me, have simply returned Tell's e-mail to him, this is what you can expect to find in your mailbox soon. So, his response is apparently to escalate from being merely annoying and preachy to attempting to assert his peculiar authoritarian judgment on others. Someone

I was particularly impressed with the report (next to last item) that there are new job opportunities for the elderly in today*s economy, *especially if they are willing to start at the bottom.* Dave -- BLS DAILY REPORT, MONDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1996 Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan

[PEN-L:6846] Re: Economics Course

Robin Hahnel wrote about his: "Social Justice in Political Economy" from McGraw Hill. I've looked over Robin's piece and it looks pretty good. It addresses clearly a number of issues very appropriate for courses like microeconomics. (The course I'm thinking about will be quite different from

[PEN-L:6847] Please

I had hoped yesterday that this controversy had died down. In the process, I learnt much about pen-l, including a better idea of my own role. I have asked Shawgi to post 3 times a week at the most. I have done nothing of the sort to anybody else. I do not think that returning his posts serves

[PEN-L:6848] Shawgi: Let's Stop Now

Shawgi has agreed to post only 3 times a week. No one else has had to be subject to such a restriction. In return, I will ask that all of us show him some respect. You do not have to agree with his politics or his style, but do not make it personal. If you want to flame him personally, do so

[PEN-L:6850] What is Stalinism?

Whatever the outcome of the Swangi Tell saga, I am struck by the looseness of the use of the term "Stalinism." It upsets me just as much as when the left used the term "Reaganism." Using Reaganism was a way of avoiding being explicitly anti-capitalist while using Stalinism is often a way

[PEN-L:6854] puzzle

Doug had prodded me into discussing my theory of competition. Let me propose a puzzle to test it. Suppose you are given an exam which asked you to explain, using neo-classical categories, how market economies throughout the world could experience at the same time 1) rapid technological increase

[PEN-L:6856] Re: puzzle

Do stupid neoclassical models count? If so, then it's easy. Suppose that there is a one-good economy with capital-enhancing, labor-diminishing technological change, that starts in period 100, such that (1) y = t * K^(1-1/t^2) * L^(1/t^2) where t is the period. The Wlarasian
