Gerald, just to let you know that our book Capitalism with Derivatives: A
Political Economy of Financial Derivatives, Capital and Class is coming out
with Palgrave Macmillan later this year. I must say that, apart form Randall
Dodd and John Grahl a bit, i'm not aware of other political economy on
derivatives. I fear that there is too much preoccupation with the category
of 'credit money' - an important insight 150 years ago, but that's a long
line of credit!

Best
Dick Bryan

 I previously sent you (on November 21, 2002), as an attachment,
 a paper by DICK BRYAN, MICHAEL RAFFERTY, and NEIL ACKLAND
on "FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES AND MARXIST VALUE THEORY":

.pdf >


 BRYAN AND RAFFERTY have since written more on this topic:

 1)  "FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES AND VALUE THEORY: TOWARDS A
      THEORY OF CAPITALIST MONEY" (November, 2003 Working
      Paper) *attached as [2003_07_rafferty[1].pdf]*

 2)  "FROM THE JOINT STOCK COMPANY TO FINANCIAL
      DERIVATIVES" (December, 2004 paper is advertised as a
      chapter from a forthcoming  book, _CAPITALISM WITH
      DERIVATIVES_).       Paper *attached as [Bryan-Rafferty.pdf]


 *Has anyone on OPE-L  done research on and/or written about
 financial derivatives?*


 In solidarity, Jerry
