I am interested in the responses you might get. Pol Eco texts are many
and several of them written by political scientists. I can think of
Caporaso and Levine "Theories of Pol Eco" Cambridge. Whe you insert the
term "global" it then takes on another twist. I can think of

Where does LaRouche get so much money ? Any indications of ties to the "intelligence

The LaRouche newspaper seems to have a lot of professional philosophers on staff. Is

Charles,
I haven't looked at a LaRouche paper in a long time and have, frankly,
