ASSA and Jet Blue

Things may be relatively quiet on the D&S blog for the first week of 2009, as our busiest blogger (yours truly, D&S co-editor Chris Sturr) will be at the annual economics meetings, grandiosely named the Allied Social Sciences Association meetings (as if economists were the only social scientists!) in San Francisco.

I am excited to be flying via JetBlue;  since they are in the midst of a union drive, with an election coming up soon, maybe I can give the workers some moral support.

If you are going to the ASSA meetings, stop by the ICAPE exhibit table (602(B), I think) to say hello--I will be there hawking D&S books.  And stop by the panel I'll be speaking on, sponsored by the Union for Radical Political Economics. Info on the panel (note the august company I'll be in):

Happy New Year!
