Thanks for the link – and the kind words! I’d probably go for ‘on occasion just maybe’ rather than ‘consistently’ worth the read – but I’m very flattered.

Hey there – sorry you were caught in moderation – it’s an anti-spam thing, and should only happen the first time you post. While you’re here, just wanted to say that I enjoy your site a great deal – I had a chance to explore a bit the other day, after you linked here, and will keep reading. The vocabulary here has been a bit abstract for a while, because it’s how I try to get my head into the thought-space of these theorists, but the drive to do this kind of work is very concrete for me (and was, I suspect, for them as well) – I do think (hope) it’s possible to say these things in less technical ways – once I understand them better myself

I’m not well acquainted with this language. I do suspect however, as my minds works to ponder the significance of the quote, rather than getting hung up on the terminology, that I am heavily influenced by people who translated these ideas into popular politicized forms that people like me could understand and get behind. Thanks for the pointer and thanks for the link. Hey! I’ll be reading more here for a good mind stretch and I’ll also follow the link.

I have a few urgently pressing thesis needs of my own at the moment – it’s probably just as well I thought of you when I saw the Keynes comments at Praxis – unfortunately, I never seem to have time to comment in adequate detail when anyone is writing on Keynes (It’s becoming an incentive for finishing the thesis, wanting to get to the point when I can read something *else* and spend adequate time thinking about it…)

Thanks for that – looks great. BTW I regret not having time to engage with your Elson posts at the moment due to urgently pressing thesis needs but hopefully I will get a chance eventually!
