Keith: > The human economy in a revolutionary moment: political > aspects of the economic crisis . . . Yes -- this is a revolutionary moment! Yes -- this is ALL about the *human economy*! Yes -- this is being *driven* by DIGITAL technology! NO -- this is not something that Karl Marx knew very much about (or Lenin for that matter, since they were both "industrial-era" prophets)! The changes from Marx's BOOK-based (or Lenin's TELEGRAPH-based) political economy are so massive that they would unlikely recognize what is going on -- in particular, what *actually* happens when a culture becomes "post-industrial" (hint: it's not "communism".)
