On Rahul's posting on "field theory."

Give us more Rahul. I could follow most of it, but every so often
I lost it for a sentence or so. I think it is very important to
knock down most (and perhaps all) analogies between physics and
economics, politics, etc.

Your occasional references to M2 every so often tempt me to subscribe
to that list again. Could you give us just a "taste" (by no means a
full meal) of what sort of fun this topic raised on that list?

Carrold your

(p.s.: Your comment on my "delete list was on target; I think there
are real differences to thresh out among real Marxists, which would
probably even become sharp and spark occasional flame wars--but
there is no way of pursuing those needed debates when the air is
filled with posturing and endlessly repeated polemical tautologies.)
