Well I am going to clutter at least one of the other lists by saying please continue pen-l. As someone who has never subscribed to it because I thought I did not have sufficient specialist economic knowledge, I am still aware indirectly of the contribution it has made. There will be both overlap and differentiation, and Doug and Louis P have been broad minded in recognising this.

The logic is that of clusters of not-for-profit collective internet publications, which through their interactions maximise the serious re-engagement of people with marxism. I also say this as someone who favours Hans's attempts to reproduce marxism-space in a way which learns lessons from the past, and can link up with other lists potentially without having any one centre.
