[Palsem09] ENCORE une version des lectures ! / Yet ANOTHER version of the reading list

[Peter Drucker]

Thanks Roland for these links! Of course I wouldn't have given the 
Workers Liberty link if I'd known about the Marxists Internet Archive 
one. I've been using the Mandel texts a lot for the translation of 
the Mandel biography (out soon from Verso), but I didn't think of 
looking there for these theses. Bizarre that all my different google 
attempts didn't find that other link for the 1974 site.

The IVP site actually does have an archive of FI documents; it just 
is growing very slowly because of our limited ability to scan and 
upload. Perhaps these two texts can be added to the IVP archive 
sometime soon.

Best,
Peter
