Thanks Julio - that's really very interesting. I would love to hear
you start on the whole other conversation you signal about "the
multiple ways in which, I believe, the apparatus of measure theory and
critically re-engineered insights from modern economic theory could be
redeployed to illuminate and confront challenges facing the historical
construction of socialism."

Also, I'd be interested to hear what you think is gained by subsuming
all the math of economic theory into the "new, unified mega-framework"
of measure theory. Is it because of the association with probability
theory, which you are pleased to see migrating from empirical work to
theory, or is it something more?
