Details follow. Doug **************************************************************************** LBO-talk is a mailing list for the discussion of politics, economics, and culture, all expansively defined. It is sponsored by Left Business Observer , a newsletter mainly about economics, and moderated by its editor, Doug Henwood. Despite that sponsorship, I hope this list will be a forum for speaking across intellectual and social boundaries that have divided the left, such as it is, for too long. Among these oppositions I'd like to see worked through are ones like class/identity, cultural politics/"real" politics, Marxism/postmodernism, universal/particularist, economics/culture, nature/labor; nature/culture, and labor/culture. Subscriptions are open, and posts go right to the list without approval. But stupidity, prolixity, dogmatism, bigotry, cheap disruptiveness, and false or multiple identities are not welcome, and will result in warning, suspension, or ejection. TO JOIN Write to with the command subscribe lbo-talk in the body of the message. Majordomo will respond with an authentication request, to check that it's coming from a real address, and not a hacked version of Newt Gingrich's. **************************************************************************** Doug Henwood editor, Left Business Observer email: web:
