From: bhandari at berkeley.edu Subject: [lbo-talk] malicious liar Almost without exception the economists have rejected both of Kliman's argument. I think that's a terrible mistake.
But it can surely be taken as a compliment, can't it? After all, the critique of political economy was never intended to make friends and influence people within the economics profession. Being far from New York, I cannot comment on Kliman's personality, but I have found his ideas interesting. And Levy is every bit as fanatical, if not more so. He is quite prepared at times to flood lists with his attacks on Kliman, or anything or anyone associated with him, to which I have not seen the latter responding. I also remember him once attacking an Italian feminist for writing a book without citing Shulamith Firestone, whom, it then turned out, happens to be his neighbour. So I think one should pause before taking sides in this dispute. Tahir
