the list and Minsky

["Rosser Jr, John Barkley" <rosserjb@xxxxxxx>]

     First I would like to applaud the good judgment of Ric
Holt and support his initiatives.  There has indeed been a
deterioration of decorum on this list recently, and,
without naming any names, I would like to appeal to the
guilty parties to CUT IT OUT.  Yes, as billy mitchell has
noted, things can get very bad.  Over on
marxism-international they have recently gotten back to
issuing death threats against one another.  Fun stuff.
Yours truly has been declared an imperialist Fujimori
agent.  Aren't you impressed?  Hot stuff.  No, we don't
need that kind of garbage on this list.
     Secondly, I for one would be curious to see more of a
discussion of Minsky's relation to Post Keynesianism, Paul
Davidson, etc.  I know that I have personally clashed with
Paul over the question of speculative bubbles, an idea that
seems very Keynesian, although perhaps not Post, to me.
Minsky obviously thought that there were speculative
bubbles and it was central to his whole financial fragility
hypothesis, or so it seems to me.  Any comments from
anybody?
