URPE Articles on Deficit/Radical Critiques

[Jay Hecht <JayHecht@xxxxxxx>]

Folks,

I'm trying to write a critique of the mainstream analysis of the balanced
budget arguments, especially in light of the recent "balance."

Looking back in the RRPE, I found one article by Paulo Cipolla in Vol. 24 #2,
Summer 1992.  I like Cipolla's approach but it is a very short article.  I
would like to say something more than:  "deficits are required to:  a) absorb
the surplus and b) finance  military/policing functions.

I'm trying to develop a non-technical argument, but I want to embed it in a
Marxian-type/like argument.  I may be wrong, but the most recent stuff appears
to be in Semmler's "Financial Dynamics" book that has an article by Shaikh who
attempts to develop a Kaleckian/Marxian theory of accumulation and finance
with a specific role for debt finance.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
