Dear Stephen,

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll think about it. One
problem is that somebody would have to explain some of the more arcane
aspects of world-system theory to me first! I don't always get the point.
But why not Shannon himself?

Anyway, the need for a broader general dissemination of
world-system theory and research is quite obvious. Every Marx needs his
Engels. We could call our book--but we won't--WORLD-SYSTEM THEORY FOR
DUMMIES.

I will be commenting on the comments on my little essay about
antisystemic movements in a few days.

Cheers,

Warren
