Some written material available on-line:

1. Here’s a recent talk that I gave on the state of the economy.

2. The paper that was the basis for the talk I presented at the URPE@ASSA convention in New Orleans on January 7, 2001 on the encouragement of stagflation by falling profit rates. Here's the hand-out that I gave out and one graph that summarizes my thesis very well. The presentation is a development of the paper that I recently had published during 2000 ("Rising Profits and Falling Inflation: An Empirical Study," Review of Radical Political Economics, 32(3), 2000: 398-407).

Here's a related paper that examines the connection between the alleged recent speed-up of productivity growth and the seeming fall in the NAIRU (the rate of unemployment below which inflation is theorized to get worse).

3. An article published in Politics and Society (June 2000):

The Positive Political Economy of Individualism and Collectivism: Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau

4. Historical articles:

Origins of the Great Depression (1994) -- an annotated version of the one published in Research in Political Economy.

A Short Article on the Depression (1999)

5. Articles on current events, prognosticating about the future:
