Abstract

David Ruccio’s blog, Occasional Links & Commentary, having grown out of postings created for his students at the University of Notre Dame, continues to focus on teaching its audience, putting information and trends into the context of a self-consciously Marxian understanding built from the concepts of class and surplus, understood not as a taxonomy but as process. From revealing the pretensions of neoclassical economics by examining the ongoing economic impacts of events, such as the Second Great Depression, to addressing theoretical controversies and misrepresentations, such as with Modern Monetary Theory, the blog not only examines policy choices and encourages readers to criticize and press for changes but also prods readers to consider more than the usual form of policy choices, beyond governments as actors and citizens as consumers of the consequences.
