[PEN-L:8805] PRAISE FOR REAL WORLD BOOKS
REQUEST FOR ENDORSEMENT QUOTES PEN-L friends -- please excuse this semi-commercial request. I'm putting together a large promotional mailing for the Dollars and Sense series of course anthologies: Real World Macro, Micro, International, and Banking, and our newest volume, Current Economic Issues: Progressive Perspectives from Dollars and Sense. >From the many of you who use our readers in your courses, I need endorsement quotes, saying how wonderful you think our books are. Just a sentence or two is long enough. Tell us how much better they are than the textbook. These are really helpful in getting a wider audience of faculty to consider our books -- and therefore to expose students to well-written, concise articles that don't repeat the usual capitalist line. I need to hear back from you by next Wednesday, March 5. Please include your full name and affiliation, and email back to me, or call at (617) 628-8411. Thanks a lot. Marc Breslow, Co-Editor, Dollars and Sense. P.S. -- we appreciate any other feedback that you have on the books, positive or negative. We do new editions every year, and so can make revisions based on your input.

I am not too familiar with the Chinese issue, but it seems to me that for the past few years Deng was just a decorative figure, wrought with old age, and so his recent passing might not have really "sparked" any friction among top government factions which might have already been there.

I would be especially interested in papers and session proposals that deal with various aspects of The Great Capitalist Restoration that has been underway since the late 1970s. I have in mind three interrelated political economic movements. First, the retrenchment of the social democratic welfare state under the aegis of doctrines such as those prevalent in the Thatcher/Reagan administrations and in subsequent governments in the democratic industrial societies. Second, the spread of the "magic of the market" to the so-called emerging market economies of the world, this spread often being mandated by "conditionality" imposed by international agencies. Third, of course, the collapse of formerly existing socialism and the experience and prospects for the transitional economies. Papers that deal with the history, the impacts, and the trends of these movements, especially in a comparative or global context, will be especially welcome. I believe that political economists have a responsibility to communicate to the general public how sweeping these changes are and what their critical long run effects might be. I expect many fine proposals from you for papers dealing with crime, homelessness, and other social problems; gender and family relationships and the nurturing of children and adults; the fate of unions, wages, and working conditions; the penetration of politics by wealth and the extent of inequality; ecological problems; social models of productivity; economic instability; international political economic relations; etc. To be considered by the JEI editor for publication in the June issue, papers must 1) be limited to 2,750 words maximum, plus no more than two pages of double-spaced endnotes and two pages of charts and tables, 2) conform to the "Instructions for Authors" given in back issues of the JEI , and 3) be in final written form and style at the time of the January meeting.

[PEN-L:8796] On the Question Of A Power Struggle In China
There is a lot of speculation that since the death of Deng Xiaoping, a power struggle for the control of the Communist Party of China and the state of the People's Republic of China has broken out. Is it true that this is what is going on at this time in the PRC? We can say for sure that the CPC is taking measures to respond to the situation created by the death of Deng Xiaoping. Whether or not it is a power struggle is not really the important issue. The talk of a "power struggle" covers up two extremely important issues at stake. The PRC was born out of the struggle for the liberation of China. The leaders of this struggle were conscious that China will not be able to enjoy the fruits of its liberation unless it carries out socialist revolution and socialist construction. On the other hand, imperialism and all reactionaries, with U.S. imperialism in the lead, considered the liberation of China to be their "loss". For well over 48 years they have been trying to undo the situation, at least to minimize their losses. China's revolution, however, stopped half way. Can a capitalist China succeed in safeguarding its independence? Mao Zedong _ from the early days of the struggle _had considered that the bourgeoisie is no longer revolutionary. Chiang Kai Shek and his Kuomantang had proven themselves to be the enemies of revolution. Hence, he spoke about placing the working class at the head of the revolution. Can it be said that the bourgeoisie has become revolutionary? All developments indicate that this is not the case. The inevitable struggle that will break out in the PRC, if it is not already smoldering, is between those who want to go from market socialism to socialism and communism and those who will take the PRC backward from market socialism to classical capitalism. On the first side will be the patriotic elements who will be staunchly anti-imperialist while on the latter will be their detractors who will compromise with imperialism. It is an independent and socialist PRC which the imperialists fear most. They would want a weakened capitalist state which will fall into their lap. They very much wish to see the renewal of the so-called "power struggle" which took place in the seventies so as to influence it to make this happen.

[PEN-L:8795] June 9 Election?! (Canada)
Finally, the speculations about when the next federal election will be held are naming the month and the day: June 9, 1997. Nonetheless, this is still speculation and not a declaration by the Prime Minister about when the election will actually be held, let alone a writ disolving the House. What is clear is that whenever the election is finally called, it will come as a surprise attack on the people since according to the electoral process in Canada, there is no fixed date at which elections take place and the advantage in the electoral contest is given to the ruling party to get prepared and call the election at a time that is most propitious for itself. The only aim the Liberals have in setting the election date of their choice is to get re-elected. It is broadly claimed that the budget delivered on February 18 was streamlined with the same aim of getting the Liberals re-elected. What kind of democracy is it in which the electorate, which is supposedly to elect the next Parliament, is held hostage to the whims of the Prime Minister as concerns the decision when the election will be held? The electorate has no power to determine the election issues either, or to provide itself with necessary information about them, or select candidates who would best serve its interests. The electorate is merely a spectator to the shenanigans of the Chretien Liberals, the party in power at the federal level at this time, and other bourgeois political parties which fully collaborate in this electoral fraud. Workers, women, youth and students must see through the kind of fraudulent elections held in Canada. They must fight for their interests by fielding their own candidates, not as "electoral machines" but as those who develop their struggle during, before and after the elections. By organizing themselves in defence of their own struggle, the people can put themselves in the center- stage of the developments. This is the only way the surprise attacks which the capitalist class organizes against the working class, whether through the elections or through other means, can be defeated.
