Lou, I've always wondered, since you frequently refer to James Petras as
one of the Marxists you greatly admire, where do you stand on Petras'
criticisms of dependency/World Systems Theory, especially his rather
*explicit* agreement with Brenner's criticisms of these theoretical
approaches.  Brenner is taken to task by you for the similar reasons that
you take on Doug so frequently. Isn't this somewhat inconsistent?
