similarly, back when I was at Occidental College, we interviewed a "radical" economist who seemed to be a Shaikh student. He linked a "Marxian" theory of unproductive labor to a very conservative one (in which the government is "unproductive" almost by definition). I felt bad (as the resident radical) that I pushed to keep him from being hired. -- Jim Devine "All science would be superfluous if the form of appearance of things directly coincided with their essence." -- KM _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
