One thing I noticed about Bina's paper is the considerable amount of
self-referencing; it borders on the egomaniacal. I once reviewed a book of
essays he and some colleagues edited. It's mentioned in his end notes in the
Iran article. A truly dreadful collection, with a couple of exceptions. And
Bina's own essay was most dreadful of all. Maybe he was over his head talking
about labor. His notes in the Iran essay seem to say that he is expert on
nearly everything else. He trashes Baran and Sweezy nearly as badly as he does
Monthly Review on Iran. My guess is that if Bina and Sweezy were taking
insights out of their brains and throwing them in the ocean, Bina would exhaust
his first and by a long margin.
