In her book "Arguments for a New Left" Hilary Wainright had what I
thought was an interesting take on this issue. HW argued that while

what significance to we attribute to the fact that a given country
consistently runs a trade deficit? a surplus?
at bretton woods, keynes proposed that international trade be managed

can anyone recommend references on local policy options to shield people from
the gentrifying effects of development and the efficacy of these policies, e.g.

RE: AIUS
wait a minute. i think some of the issues are thornier here than
maggie's post would perhaps suggest.
certainly progressives have a right and a duty to demand that
progressive organizations not engage in what we would consider to be

since when is it our job to determine what the bosses can
accomodate?
e.g. you could make a case, and many have, that racism is so
