Allow me to quote from the charter:
"LBO-talk is a mailing list for the discussion of politics, economics, and culture, all expansively defined. It is sponsored by Left Business Observer , a newsletter mainly about economics, and moderated by its editor, Doug Henwood.
"Despite that sponsorship, I hope this list will be a forum for speaking across intellectual and social boundaries that have divided the left, such as it is, for too long. Among these oppositions I'd like to see worked through are ones like class/identity, cultural politics/"real" politics, Marxism/postmodernism, universal/particularist, activism/theory, economics/culture, nature/labor; nature/culture, and labor/culture."
