I am new to LBO and I suspect that you are from Germany. I am from Germany and since I don't have access to I. Rubin's material I would be glad if you can forward it to me. I can try to translate it though I am not sure if my English is sufficient. Rubin's name came also up on the Leninist-International Capital Reading Group and I am eager to read his essays.
