Dear friend,
I regret to report that Richard M. Goodwin passed away on August 6th
at 1:00 AM in the University Clinic in Siena.
As an economist, Dick will be remembered for his path breaking
contributions to the theory of economic fluctuations and for
event. To say that your causal theory only gives a qualitative
results in terms of its directionality rather than quantitative results will
not be a critique of causal theory in any case. Many may consider it a weak
case of causal theory. Cheers, ajit sinha

identifying the laboring activities that would be productive of surplus as

To my earlier posting, Jim Devine responded that the Old Karlos also favoured

istory. My question is, whether the idea of "small government" is rejected
outright by saying 'govt. is good' or one should discuss the merit of such an
idea. The ideological question is about centralization and decentralization of
power. Shouldn't progressive economists argue about this issue?
