interpretation."

In Rakesh Bhandari's pop world of psychology,  one can on the
basis of alleged similarity, deduce _intent_.


Even if RD did not know initially of HG's work--she certainly came
to know of if it after reading Rosdolsky--she should have then admitted
that most of her economic ideas were anticipated by HG. Certainly
her followers today should admit to so much. I have already allowed
for the fantastic possibility that RD did not know initially of HG's work.

RB




Rakesh Bhandari alone "has some basis to talk about this."  This
is  not because others have not read Dunayevskaya, Grossmann, and
Shoul -- but because he is the self-appointed expert on Grossmann.
The fact that other scholars of Grossmann have not come forward and
supported his interpretation/insult does not bother him one whit.



Why can't I say something for the first time? Is there something
about me that makes this impossible? I am one of the very people
who have read HG, RD and BS very carefully. So what?
