Hang on Brad, when I worked at York with Leo/Sam and the other comrades 
in 2003-04, I repeatedly invoked the David Harvey notion of crisis 
displacement (shifting and stalling the crisis through spatio-temporal 
techniques like financial speculation), and it was frowned upon. Is your 
interpretation widely shared at York, now?

I hear Leo/Sam saying the earlier crisis was *resolved* not displaced. 
That's a huge difference.

Cheers,
