In "The Birth of Biopolitics," one of the course descriptions collected in

questions on trade:
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
so that no country ran a consistent (global) surplus or deficit, and

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
there was something to the Austrian critique of socialism and
government action, namely that even if nominally democratic government
action was limited by the
I don't know anything about the Austrian School bit. Sympathy for
English liberalism would indeed be surprising, since it goes against the
grain of everything Foucault had written. As you know, he spends a lot

For a good critique of Hillary Wainwright, see John Bellamy Foster's

Polanyi and Wainwright" in the Dec. 95 "Capitalism, Nature and Socialism".

Michael Lowy has a good collection called "Marxism in Latin America". The
only problem is that it might not be in print. If it isn't, then I'd
suggest the new edition of Mariatequi's writings from Humanities Press;
Guevara and Castro collections from Pathfinder Press.

greetings to all. There's been alot of hoopla about Evita Peron
and the movie EVITA. I understand that Juan Peron was an admirer of
Mussilini. His regime was in power during the post WWII era, when Nazi
fascists were flooding South America, especially Argentina. Other than that

In order to save Penners the agony of going through the entire debate one
again, may I suggest that you do a search of the Pen archives and read
the debate between the Progressive Nationalists and the Progressive

A curious tidbit on this is that although the
Ordo-Liberals were not Austrians, despite their support of
market capitalism and opposition to central planning, Hayek
ended his career at Freiburg.
BTW, in my earlier message on all this I misspelled
