RE: [Marxism] Forwarded from Michael Yates

[eatonak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I fully agree with the content of Michael's commentary as well.  I also
experienced the same praise from my students when I required them to read
"Naming the System."  Michael's genuine connection to the livelihood of
working people comes through his very effective conversational style.
This really affects students because they feel that they are really
reading someone who is not making all kind of petty calculations
(including being accepted, getting funds, reviewed favorably, etc.) in his
formulations as many other progressive academics routinely make --albeit
sometimes even subconsciously.  "Naming the System" is a great book and
should  be a required reading in every economics department.
