Colleagues, the lists are good - but sometimes hopelessly Amero-centric. If I
had to teach a course across the Great Pot again, I'd select the following
titles about theories and the struggles of people in the one and single
capitalist world economy - also with the necessary dimension of the conflict
structure, that capitalism created over the last 500 years, and also comprising
historical aspects of theories (like Kalecki) that I find are absolutely vital
when one works - like I do for the last 4 years - in a East European
semi-periphery. It also contains classics - like the one by our late friend Herb
Addo - which are often overlooked in America. I also include Kunibert Raffer's
path-breaking analysis of Unequal Exchange; else an unresolved basic concept of
the Wallerstein school.
The list is a list of 5 pages (pardon me)
