Dear Commoners:<br>
Through the US Solidarity Economy Network (of which I am a member), I was
alerted yesterday to a conference that is going to be held in November in
Amherst, Massachusetts - the announcement for which is appended below. I
plan to be involved in one panel that focuses on ideas of the solidarity
economy, but in addition I want to explore whether there's interest in
organizing a session which would focus on the commons (and where I would
also be part of that). Please let me know if you are interested in taking
part in this!<br><br>
Regards,<br>
Wolfgang<br><br>

For the upcoming conference, to be held at U.Mass.-Amherst on Nov. 11-13,

bond markets<br>

and class<br>

analysis<br>

Are experiments the only right way to study individual economic
behavior?<br>
