Yoshie Furuhashi wrote: >Is the interview with Bina available on the Net? Nope, sorry. WBAI doesn't archive stuff. I may quote excerpts in the next LBO. Most of what he said was based on the analysis in his 1993 Asian Studies Quarterly article, excerpts of which Rakesh quoted. He thinks oil is sold on a globalized market, and talk of political control is obsolete. He singles out the "populist left" for emphasizing that too much. Doug

31448 list mainentance -- rank: 1000

A few housekeeping notes: 1) I'm getting a bit more ruthless about un-sub'ing people with full mailboxes. These turned-away messages all bounce back to me. Many free services, espeically Hotmail, have very low volume quotas. 2) It's a bit difficult to accomplish 1) sometimes when people use forwarding addresses. I get bounces from the final destination, and then have to try to figure out what the actual subscribed address is. This is annoying. If you've got one of these, please reconsider, watch ...

I think most people, including me, who post critically on unions still believe they're a good thing, and that it'd be hard to have any kind of serious political movement without unions. If you want to report on specific labor issues, that'd be welcome. I'm sure most of us would like to hear about that. Doug

[I was corresponding with Brad DeLong about other matters, and happened to mention I missed his presence on the list. Thought some folks might be interested in his response.] As you recall, I am taking a mental health break in order to avoid having engraved upon my soul the conclusion that the global left are a bunch of malignant fucks who are so afflicted with Nietzschean ressentiment that they have lost every clue to the idea that they are supposed to be trying to build Utopia.
