Yeah, and for similar reasons it's worthwhile analysing state reforms and
crisis management. Eric was talking a while back as if those of us
discussing the stimulus package etc. were trying to help capital out. On the
contrary, the extent to which states are able to manage the crisis and how
they try to do it are of huge importance to the far left.
