Feedback on "Connections in Political Economy" It is very impressive, displaying an incredible amount of work that must have already gone into it, and I think it will provide a great resource for both students and academic researchers and teachers. I like the emphasis on scholarly sources, which makes it clear that political economy has a depth and history to it. And I really like how Marx and Keynes are up front. One thing you do well with the flow diagrams is highlight links between different schools of thought in political economy. You asked if I had any comments about things that could be added. One comment is that I think key to political economy is that it involves a study of the 'economy' and is not the same as economics. And the study of the economy may involve other social sciences. So I wonder if there should be something on this, maybe using Veblen and the study of consumer society. Veblen could be a link to the other social sciences.
