We’re still waiting for a few external things before the Brand! New! blog and homepage come to exist. Meanwhile, I’m about ready to declare myself done with The Wealth of Nations. While I still have several chapter to comment on, I have read them, and they do not concern aspects of political economy that interest [...]

Watch This Space
January 22nd, 2010 · 14 Comments
Just a heads up: We’re going to be doing some fun things with the blog, and with my web site (dreamcafe.com), so the look will be changing. One thing we plan on is that the books on the blog will contain a link to discussion space here for each book (this in answer to the [...]

Word definition question
December 10th, 2009 · 26 Comments
Reesa and Nathan have been watching re-runs of the old Addams Family TV show. I approve of this, in part because it’s refreshing to see a 60’s sitcom where one can believe the couple actually had sex.

If you’ve sent me email…
April 8th, 2009 · No Comments
…in the last few days, I haven’t seen it. I lost internet for a few days, and then my Linux box died. I’m hoping to have it back again in a day or two, so I can get back to work; but in the meantime, if it’s urgent, tell me here and I’ll drop you [...]

It was either this or a long post on the materialist interpretation of human personality as related to the leaders of classes doomed to extinction. Aren’t you glad it’s this?
