22066 [lbo-talk] quote of the day -- rank: 1000
"Gay men are guardians of the masculine impulse. To have anonymous sex in a dark alleyway is to pay homage to the dream of male freedom. The unknown stranger is a wandering pagan god. The altar, as in prehistory, is anywhere you kneel." -- Camille Paglia

22069 [lbo-talk] Pollin on Sweezy -- rank: 1000
<http://www.counterpunch.org/pollin03062004.html> Remembering Paul Sweezy "He was an Amazingly Great Man" By ROBERT POLLIN [...] There is no doubt that Paul was the leading Marxian economist in the United States, and probably the world, during his lifetime. Certainly he was the most widely recognized and respected. In my view, he made four major intellectual/political contributions. [...] [and evidently John Mage isn't the only one...] Which brings up another point. Paul was lege ...

Bill Bartlett wrote: >I doubt it makes the mechanics of the economy any clearer to refer >to supply as "effective demand".
