Our own Jim Devine will be giving a talk at the Ohio State University on Thursday. (See below -- the title has little to do with the content of the talk, though.) After Dan La Botz, Jim will be the second Marxist to give a talk in a series of teach-ins that my fellow organizers and I have put on since 9-11-01. On the flyer, I put the four graphs that I liberated from Doug Henwood's "Debts Everywhere" (see below).
