Just signal boosting the bizarre story most of you will have already seen on other theory blogs, about the inexplicable decision by Middlesex University to cut its [...]]]></description>

DeLong responds, invoking Reagan to say &#8220;under such a huge pile of *(@^ there must be an argument somewhere&#8221;.  Not surprisingly, Harvey is less than [...]]]></description>

Why does Marx maintain that wage labour is central to capitalism?  Praxis points out in a recent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, very very tangentially related to discussions of the current crisis.  And deeply underdeveloped.
My contention is that Marx understands the &#8220;standpoint&#8221; of his critique to be potentials that could be released by a reconfiguration of the &#8220;materials&#8221; that we have made available to ourselves in constituting a particular aspect of our present form [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not skilled at writing on such things, and there has certainly been no lack of commentary on this speech from other fronts.  In any event, as always seems to be the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just noticed the following in an article by Kenneth Davidson in The Age Business Day:
It is an inconvenient truth that unionised work forces can contribute to labour productivity by driving up wages faster than non-unionised work forces and this provides a stimulus to innovation, as employers will be motivated to economise on the use [...]]]></description>
