[lbo-talk] Parecon question

I have read some Roemer and Rawls, but not much -- and only early Cohen -- Robin has no doubt read more, especially Rawls, as he teaches associated stuff at American.

There is an essay or two relating to roemer you can find on ZNet...and significant treatment of Rawls's views in a book called Quiet Revolution in Welfare Economics. It is available from Princeton -- but is also, quite incredibly because it is long and technical and was done spontaneously by a volunteer -- online, linked from the Parecon site.

Honestly, for what time we have, here, and not least due to my own abilities and interests, and lacks, I would rather try to explain or defend or maybe adapt in light of suggestions or criticism, parecon...then relate to other frameworks. Doing the latter, no doubt I would make a mess. But, if you really want to have a pareconish response to some other position -- I guess I would like it if you would offer up the position, and then I can reply...that way it will be clear we are talking about the same thing.
