While Michael is undoubtedly right, university administrations reward
those who do research and slight teaching. But that is no excuse for
teachers to neglect their moral responsibility to teach properly and to serve
their students. I think Jim was once a student of mine and I hope he
never felt that I neglected the students for easier paths to money and
promotion. And, if he wants to help his students, he can refer them to
my text "Inside Capitalism" where I have almost all of his key words in the
index, or at least discussed.;-)

Actually I was never in one of Paul's classes but I never heard
from others that he had ever slighted students. I have not read his "Inside
Capitalism" but I will order it for sure. Generally speaking, at least in
graduate school, I had teachers who enjoyed teaching and who did not put "pop"
(publish or perish) above their teaching responsibilities; I generally lucked
out at least in my graduate studies.
