I just joined academia.edu and added Castoriadis as a sub-topic under philosophy. I'm pretty lonely there right now.<BR/><BR/>I wanted to turn people's attention to the political economic work of Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler (bnarchives.yorku.ca). They have made some use of Castoriadis in their new theory of capital.<BR/><BR/>There is now a discussion group based on their theory (http://www.yorku.ca/cmass/forum/index.php). I have posted two papers I wrote on Castoriadis. One is linking Castoriadis and Veblen in more deeply explicating how the pair relate to N&B's 'power theory of capital.' The other is using Castoriadis to critique a little discussed, but vital (and ridiculous) component of neoclassical economics, the representative agent.<BR/><BR/>I hope others who work with Castoriadis will consider the work of N&B as an alternative to Marx's labour theory of value and capital.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Troy CochraneTroy Cochranenoreply@blogger.com
