The Enron Affair: Bush-Leaguers Make a Global Power Play
by Jeffrey Steinberg
There is more at stake in Enron’s machinations in India than a multibillion-dollar business deal. Look at developments with Dwayne Andreas’s ADM Corp. as a “marker” for what is really going on.

Non-Newtonian Mathematics for Economists
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
A sequel to “Why most Nobel Prize Economists Are Quacks,” Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. writes: “The onrushing process of collapse of the International Monetary Fund-dominated global monetary and financial system, demonstrates, among other points, that all generally accepted mathematical representations of economic processes are devastatingly incompetent. The relevant alternative is named the LaRouche-Riemann method. However, a world which has suffered so much under the policies of the U.S. Nobel Prize-winners, should not be asked to accept an alternative economic teaching on blind faith. Therefore, it is not sufficient to know that the LaRouche-Riemann method works; it is necessary to render transparent both how, and why it works.”

A table prepared by EIR staff and appearing in “Why Most Nobel Prize Economists Are Quacks,” by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (EIR, July 28, p. 23), was incomprehensible, and we apologize to the author, and to readers who have been trying to make sense out of it. Our economics staff is working to produce a real “market basket” chart for the U.S. economy, which will be forthcoming fairly soon.
The article “Free-Market Reforms Have Turned Poland into a Maquiladora” (EIR, Aug. 4, p. 11) gave the wrong figure for the portion of Poland’s national income devoted to R&D; it should have read 0.5%.
