Re: [OPE-L] Jacques Gouverneur's new text on Marxist economics

[Alejandro Valle Baeza <valle@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jerry, in my view that is a real text book.  A real text book is produced only by teachers who are deeply involved into communicate with students. Gouverneur spent a lot of time teaching the issues of  the book; hence most of the material was tested by experience. As any other good text book,  it is well organized: exposition, resume, etc. In adition of that, Gouverneur's book has original material  for understanding or develop Marxian thinking. I will give an example of this in a next post.
In short, I am sure that Understanding.. is a tool  for everyone involved in teaching Marx' economics and an example for writing books for teaching.

Jerry, I think this is an excellent idea.  Gouverneur's book is
outstanding introductory text.
    

Alejandro (and everyone else):

Then let's start with a simple question:  (Putting aside the
question of [non-] price),  *what do you believe is the most
outstanding feature of his book?

In solidarity, Jerry

PS: I've been having problems downloading the English
version.  Have others been able to download and open the
entire pdf file without problems?

  

Since Jacques has so generously provided his book for free
to the public via the Internet, perhaps we could return the
favor by critically discussing the contents of his book?
