Il Posto dei Calzini? This is an earlier book? Not seen it before. Can you or Steve give me a brief synopsys of what it covers? They've also recently published in French 'Et Vogue L'Argent' . But its been out since 2002 in German as Fetisch Geld. From what I understood from the cover of that book it was something along the lines of Doug Henwoods book critiquing 'New Economy' ideology, but I could be wrong. It gives me headaches reading in German. But yes, very little or very slow with producing English translations in these fields. Is there so little interest there? And its not just the Italian, but even a lot of the contemporary French economic and labor related literature I never see in English, nor in Spanish. If I thought there'd be any money in it I'd try doing it myself. Anyhow, thanks.

Ciao

Lowe
