It is useful to keep in mind that Marx's argument is, in part, a rebuttal to claims by Townsend, Malthus, etc. that workers need to be kept poor to keep them working. The proverbial "lash of hunger." So it is a *rebuttal to an immiseration theor* y. But it is a rebuttal that identifies the kernal of truth in the substantially false political economy. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
