I suspected that you were there too, but wasn't sure. I was teaching at Chicago for a month and turned up just for that session (I had my family with me). Myerson was indeed pathetic. He reminded me of Sir John Hicks in A theory of economic history: schoolboy history larded with "common sense' and occasional recourse to the eternal verities of economic principle.

David, It's great that you have started a branch of the discussion/campaign in the OAC. When Gustaaf gets back to London, perhaps we can draw him in too. I was in Chicago when John Kelly organized the recent conference there. Marshall Sahlins produced a withering, ethnographically rich demolition of the counter-insurgency manual (I forget its name). Maybe we could draw him in if it takes off here. Keith
