well, there is quite a lot but it depends on where you want to begin. You could track the e-Con-0-mist for fun then find the counter arguments. Here at KU we have a sustainable development (or they call it sustainability which I think isn't the same matter or method) Hub, and I have been making arguments, but they are always and have to be counter arguments to those of management. So arguments about sustainable development, it seems to me, have to be in the context of management attacks, not generalities about modes of production and contradictions in social relations. Though I am not saying there is no advantage in generalisation. using the concept of mastering the universe in the disscourse of marxism it is useful for example to regender? This week's e-Con-0-Mist has the main supplement on mobile development which gives lots of opportunities for mistressing arguments. The front cover story is on making the cuts, so for those interested in tory, labour or any other rhetorical edevices or theories, the editorial makes a very good starting point about who will pay for the crisis, how and why. The e-Cons want to attack pensioners' bus passes. That seems a very good place to make an argument. I'm going to see what sort of social networking technology they use. A counter argument might start with Trident? or, what provoked some discussion last week, make the bankers pay? ________________________________________ From: To complement the journal 'Capital and Class' (ISSN 0 309 8786) [[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Chris Ford [[log in to unmask]] Sent: 28 September 2009 21:45 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Sustainable Development Comrades, Has anyone seen anything or written anything on sustainable development in the light of the crisis of capitalism? Which has surely challenged previous conceptions. Chris This email has been scanned for all viruses by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
