I just returned from a memorial meeting for Paul Sweezy on the west side of
Manhattan, where all the presentations were to the point and heart-felt. I
want to repeat some of the observations that were made from the podium

What do you mean by show[ing Marx's] ... 'falling rate of profit'
scenario works out in practice. No-one has yet done so, at
least not in
the orthodox framework
to previous debates. My impression is that it may, and certainly the
writing is careful and respectful.

mention.
I think he is quite like Krugman, who has a very narrow band of acceptable political
