Richard Grossman

[William S. Lear]

Last night, I caught a bit of Richard Grossman giving a talk at
U. Colorado, Boulder.  He and Frank T. Adams put out a booklet called
"Taking Care of Business" (Charter Ink, 1995).  I thought his speech
was quite stirring, though he seems firmly in the populist-style
"Let's control corporations" rather than the "Why should they exist at
all" camp.

Earth Island Journal printed a short version of the above booklet,
available at http://www.ratical.com/corporations/TCoBeij.html.

I think this sort of stuff is very valuable, especially in the age of
MAI, even if it does not call for a fundamental restructuring of the
economy.  What are Elbowers' opinions of Grossman?

Also, is this Frank Adams the (economist?) Frank Adams who did work
on industrial structure?
