Brad is not on pkt (Post Keynesian Thought) to the best of my knowledge, unless he is a lurker, which I doubt. You can get on it by sending a message to listproc at csf.colorado.edu and say "subscribe pkt your address". If that does not work, contact the list manager, Ric Holt, at rholt at sou.edu and he will gladly help you out. It is a pretty lively list, although Dough has gotten annoyed with it and dropped off recently in a snit fit.
BTW, csf stands for "collective for a sustainable future" and it also hosts ecol-econ and a bunch of progressive sociology and peace lists. Pen-l is not on it, but has some kind of affiliation, I think. Barkley Rosser On Thu, 4 Feb 1999 23:55:28 -0500 John Kavanaugh <jk at interport.net> wrote:
