The next point that should be made is, even if we should ignore
international treaties and decide to break up Yugoslavia on
ethnic grounds, what should be the borders?
The borders of the republics (states) of Yugoslavia post 1945 were

Quite the contrary. So far the US blunderings have always favored

I don't think the big issue these days is that of the conflict
between industrial and banking capital (as Doug Henwood points
out). Instead, it's more of a matter of what's good for
the U.S. economy versus what's good for the world profitability
of capitalist enterprises.

Thanks to Sally Lerner for the Futurework postings.
I hope we can all discuss this -- maybe relevance
and theory can satisfy everybody.
Yelling "fire!" in a crowded theather as unprotected speech
was justified by the "clear and present danger" rule.
Herb Gutman taught me in 1955 that free speech doesn't mean
much unless there IS "clear and present danger" -- politically
speaking.

it can. All you have to do is read the Indian publications. The larger

Jim Devine recently conveyed the gist of an interesting argument by
Wei Li contrasting the behavior of Chinese and Russian enterprises
under different strategies of price decontrol: the Chinese decontrolled

These comments address issues of China and capitalism in response to
interesting posts by Michael, Barkley and Joseph. As Barkley noted, the
most dynamic sector of the Chinese economy is the township and village
