interview with emmanuel todd and this interview w/ mr todd

vimothy -- let me recommend a websites to you = http://www.rgemonitor.com/blog/setser/ and this book called after the empire by emmanuel todd

errrr, i'm must object for the record that i'm neither i merely defended Strauss on this forum once again some of the more silly attacks against the man and his thought -- having read several of his books and been taught, as an undergrad, by students of his students -- however, as i foolishly...

melancholy man -- "precaution" -- on warriors dance -- 1991

not really seriously, do you actually think the u.s. will ever make good on its debts to other countries??? do you actually think that u.s. trade deficit is sustainable? and, if not sustainable, what will be the nature of the "correction" to the system? please address these questions before...

how is it "economic millenarianism" to say that the u.s., by any normative theory, is headed toward a serious economic depression and eclipse by other capitalist powers??? ALSO, imminent collapse of u.s. economy does not necessarily entail collapse of planetary capitalism -- though it very well...

yes, but i think that the stakes are so high (i.e., collapse of dollar followed by deep depression in u.s. going hand-in-hand with shift of the center of world power to eur-asian continent) that u.s. may attempt to seize iranian oil fields in a desperate bid to retain dollar's status the funny...

first, doesn't u.s. want to fight war against iran to seize its oil fields? second, if oil is not the only thing backing the dollar, what else backs its value?

as for why u.k. didn't adopt the euro, i think out of loyalty to united states, i.e., to ensure that oil and other commodities would be traded in london in pounds and dollars, not the nascent euro and as for whether the u.s. economy is headed for meltdown, by any normative theory it should have...

therefore, the steep reductions in u.k. naval capability should be interpreted as a very definite move toward military integration with europe -- and a very definite step away from trans-atlantic alliance or anglo-saxon rule of the seas (u.s.a./australia/u.k. axis)

okay. looks like a need to do a bit more rousing here to generate a discussion . . . . is it a GOOD or BAD thing that Royal Navy will be smaller and less powerful than, say, the French navy???

i'll make it a point to be there

after much fiddling about, editing links and such, here's the posting = I expect most people on Dissensus are anti-imperialists, and so may well greet news of deep cutbacks in u.k. naval fleet and capabilities as good news. As for myself, I'm at a point where I'm neither for or against...

it's in my parents' basement, stored away w/ most of my other books. it's been like 7 years since i attempted to read it

i found "dead babies" and "money" amusing on a certain level but i REALLY liked "green man," and suspect i may have to go on a kingsley amis kick

i've just read "the green man" by kingsley amis. wonderfully entertaining, and the first of his books that i've read much prefer him to martin, whose books i've read several of, until i got hopelessly bogged down in "london fields" and swore never to bother with him again any other titles by...

not sure how "abrasive," but similar to what you mention = MK -- Burning PM Dawn -- Watcher's Point of View (todd terry underground mix) Roc + Kato -- Jungle Kisses

i've heard tim sweeney several times. he's a good dj. my biggest complaint is that, given his commitment to playing old records, he doesn't really play records from the 88/93 golden years. and that his sound is too "white" -- i cringe at the racialist term -- too electro/rock/deep techno...

i like sets that weave back and forth b/w "popist" dance tracks and more "difficult" tracks b/c this is what people in tottenham or whatever are seemingly suddenly into as already noted on this thread, the funky house thing is a bit amorphous nobody seems to know what exactly it is...

yes, there needs to be a certain narrowness of scene and sound for there to subcultural power however, djs sticking to a single aesthetic is a post-92 development therefore, if hardcore continuum has come to an "end" -- and perhaps we could flesh out what we mean by this??? -- then it seems to...
