Jahns -

  Roth says you may settle here. I would like that. Intended to enclose clipping but mislaid it - re British device of a new programming  language 'Pop II' said to be usable by high school kids with 4 hrs training.  My S. P. pal Pete Meyers says he expects to remain addicted to Fortran.
  Your Input-Output tables & references to Math aroused pleasant recollections of when we used to discuss circulation of capital in simple reproduction & expansion - and my shooting some Marxists with a simplistic popularization of same - an insulated economy, capitalistic, with only two towns, one at either end of the island - Breadtown turning out on a means of consumption, and Steeltown at other end producing only means of production, with inevitable movement of goods between the two towns restricted (discarding c+v+s distinctions temporarily) to a swopping of the part of Breadtown's product that corresponds to replacement of means and expansion of means, for the portion of Steeltown's production that corresponds to all consumed income, all classes.
  For my "New Unionism" series, I'd like an easy, even if superficial explanation that modern equipment as computers, do make it not too difficult for workers the world over to approximate optimum use of resources toward achieving their wishes regarding levels of consumption (Perhaps we should concede the computers can't assure us that the wishes will be rational?)
