Chris Knight, Steve Keen, the Awkward Squad

Thanks to the guys at Despair to Where for drawing my attention to the work of anthropologist Chris Knight, who's speaking in London on November 12. His homepage is here. I've ordered Blood Relations already.

Economist Steve Keen from the University of Western Australia is also worth checking out for his book Debunking Economics. We've previously linked here to his article in Adbusters on Post-Autistic Economics, whose site we also link to (left). There is an update to his book on his site which includes a page on Marx and the Labour Theory of Value, something I've for a while now regarded as a complete waste of time and entirely unnecessary to the socialist project (if anything, it does a disservice to socialism by providing a false premise).

The Awkward Squad? Well, that's us, since we continue to make a virtue of skepticism and snidey childish sarcasm. As distinct from adolescent petulance, that is.
