RRPE review

[David Barkin <d_barkin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Pen-Lers!

Michael Perelman asked me to come back on the last to talk a little about
Mexico, something I will do shortly, since the economy here merits some
thought by our progressive "partnes" from the north!

In the meanwhile, however, I would like to ask you to think about a priority
for the Review of Radical Political Economics -- getting reviews out of
books written by URPE members and closely associated fellow travelers. Among
the recent books that I know about that are available for review are the
