Wasn't Brenner continuing in the footpath of Maurice Dobb's criticisms of
Sweezy, ditto Wood? Didn't Sweezy start off his response to Dobb's
criticisms with a statement to the effect that Dobb's criticisms, as
challenging to his thesis as they were, were helpful to him and serious
ones that couldn't be wished away. He surely didn't trash Dobb w/emotion
laden accusations....
