>Talking about left organizations going bankrupt,
>I think pen-lers should know that Dollars and
>Sense magazine, a 27-year old publication of
>solid progressive economic analysis written
>for a general audience, is having financial
>difficulties. Nobody is suing us.  Its just the
>usual problems -- costs have risen, magazine
>sales don't cover the full costs of production
>and advertising revenue potential is limited.
>
>D&S has covered its costs in the past by
>printing compilations of its articles as
>readers to accompany college-level
>economics courses.  Our sales have
>declined slightly and not been matched
>by an increase in other supplementary
>revenues (like donations). 
>
>If you are a college teacher, consider
>ordering the (excellent, if I say so myself)
>D&S books for your courses -- micro,
>macro, international, money and banking,
>environmental and current economic
>issues. We also publish a lovely book
>by Charles Sackery and Geoff Schneider
>called "Introduction to Political Economy"
>that can be used in introductory or in
>history of thought courses.  And we will
>be reissuing a book by Randy Albelda
>and Bob Drago on inequality beginning
>this fall (McGraw-Hill dropped the title).

>If you are not a college teacher, consider
>making a donation to D&S (what better
>use for that $300 tax rebate?).  For more
>info, go to www.dollarsandsense.org
>or call the office at 617-876-2434.  Major
>credit cards accepted.   And if you
>don't subscribe, why not take out a
>subscribtion?  A bargain at $24.95 for
>six issues.
