I am not familiar with Philip Mirowski's work, Sabri,
but thinks for the recommendations....another writer
of interest to both left and right I believe is Michael Hudson,
with whom I've collaborated somewhat on things Russian
in the past.  It also occurs to me that the Henry George
approach to property might be of interst to A-Listers.  I
learned about his work through Michael, and I have a
number of books on it but - alas - I have not read them
yet (your note prompted the guilty memory of that failure,
and oh what an educated woman I'd be if I just got all the
books on my shelves read :-), but perhaps all the A-listers
already know all about that approach. -A.
