Dear Ric and Paul:

I am forwarding to you a message from Joseph Halevi following a message
from Bernard Paulpre regarding a petition being circulated by French
economics professors in support of a movement started by French students
asking for less mathematics and more pluralism in economics courses.  I
feel it would be appropriate for this information to be circulated on the
PKT and among UK Post-Keynesians, so that plenty of foreign economists
support this French initiative by getting on their international signature
list.

>Dear all:=20
>Aux armes citoyens!!
>The students of the mathematical schools in France (Ecole Normale) are in
rebellion against the dogmatic teaching of economics....  On October 4
there will be a mass meeting at Sorbonne, it would be good if they get as
many supporting signatures as possible.

> [Check the website of] the English version of the supporting letter in
favour of the students signed by 190 French academic economists [ Among
others the signatories are: Michel Aglietta, Robert Boyer, Pascal Petit and
most historians of economic thought..]. It is this letter that acts as a
document to sign. Please send your signature saying "I support your letter"
to professor Bernard Paulre' from Paris 1 whose email is :

>THIS IS THE ONLY CORRECT EMAIL DISREGARD THAT APPEARING ON THEIR WEBSITE.
IT IS WRONG

>The second document is the students' manifesto, in French, extremely=
 pungent!

>Best regards Joseph Halevi

>Do not forget to sign with your university and departmental affiliation
and functions.
