some of us went to a 2hr discussion session tonight with prof john foster from the sociology dept ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Bellamy_Foster ). it was pretty good. he didn't try to pronounce 'Lebensraum', but i learned some things and got more confused on some other things. and, all in all, i think i have a pretty good handle on what's been goin' on and what we're lookin' at.
was he the dude that made the german faux pas in his lecture on the geopoloitical history of the war in iraq?
oh yeah, i just added that. see above.
heh.
did he provide any resources for further info?
he is still an über nerd, but it was very insightful to talk to him.
he gave us free copies of the newest monthly review. looks pretty right on. obviously he is the editor of the journal and it features one of his articles. but yeah, looks right on.
nice. i'll check it out...
