10758 [lbo-talk] The Madness of Finance -- rank: 190

[WS:] Needless to say that the economic rationality model is hopelessly useless in explaining this behavior. Sociology and and anthropology can do much better. My sociological hypothesis is that this behavior is not driven by any utility considerations in the economic sense (these guys have more money that they can ...

10762 [lbo-talk] How would democratic ownership and control move us towards serving human needs? -- rank: 190

Marv: "You're not understanding the theory, associated with Marxism, of the class nature of the state" [WS:] I think you are not understanding my position - I reject the theory associated with Marxism of the class nature of the state not caricaturing it. Or to be more precise, I think that ...

10763 [lbo-talk] How would democratic ownership and control move us towards serving human needs? -- rank: 190

Marv: " you're also underestimating how "easily solved" is the problem of democratic control at the "micro-institutional" level." [WS:] I meant "easy solved' in comparison to some utopian notions of absolute absence of any formal organization that I am currently reading about in Graeber's book "Direct Action." I do ...

10764 [lbo-talk] Capitalism and porn -- rank: 190

[WS:] There is more to Veblen that this. A big part of his argument is that aspirational consumption becomes a "must have" norm and then it is treated as a "necessity of life." For example, having a 3k sq feet house was one a status symbol but now it is ...

10765 [lbo-talk] Ron Paul on the Civil War -- rank: 190

To paraphrase, "So it does not matter whether Obama himself is an imperialist. He is seeking support of people who are, and he must act as one. AFAIK, Democrats are defined by two and only issues - imperialism (and terrorism more generally) and bailing out Wall St - period. There is nothing more ...

Nathan: "> Wow, at this point I can't tell whether Paul's not-exactly-crypto-racism > or old age are doing most of his talking." [WS:] I do not think it is the latter, he seems quite lucid. I do not know what Paul, or for that matter other people think ...

10768 [lbo-talk] Jewish american paper urges assassination of president -- rank: 190

This was all over the Hebrew and English language J-press starting Friday afternoon. I can't say I'm surprised. Every conceivable effort is being made to diminish Obama's allure to Jewish voters, from every quarter. It's typical of the poisonous Bibi-GOP election atmosphere. Writing in Haaretz ...
