But, given recent controversy over it, I felt the need to do some extensive excavation.<br /><br />There is a point, however, that your response touches on, which is perhaps we do need to have something of a fightback against the 140 character world, of instant opinions and superficiality that breeds short attention spans. I suspect that a lot of the heat in debates on the Internet and amongst the Left is fuelled by snap responses, to inadequately stated ideas and concepts.<br /><br />Its no wonder people like Piketty can write a best selling book in which he criticises Marx, but then admits he's never actually read him!Boffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157650969929097569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459705910272523592.post-27007651452253182262014-06-14T19:10:51.926+03:002014-06-14T19:10:51.926+03:00I deserved that!

The word "rant" was simply not appropriate for your amazing posts - but I think you know what I mean.....<br />I'm at fault for lacking patience,,...and I look forward to your new stuff....<br />Ronaldnomadronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11996785326616523308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459705910272523592.post-13919387468696509232014-06-14T18:07:20.681+03:002014-06-14T18:07:20.681+03:00Ron,

Soon to re-appear, however, as an e-book! The project of summarising Capital continues, of course, but I hope soon also to be posting comments and analysis on Africa as I promised a couple of years ago, as well as having time for some short blog posts, as and when time from completing my novel for publication ends.<br /><br />I might also combine that with posting some of the short stories I've written, which might provide you with something a bit different to regain your interest.Boffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08157650969929097569noreply@blogger.com
