Whether or not it's "Marxist", Doug's book is certainly "about political
economy", and the validity and relevance of his arguments, however you
assess them, will depend not at all on whether it earns the term "Marxist"
or reflects an internally consistent take on value theory. Thus...

Maybe, but not much.
And forget the New or Marxist Schools, my vote is that Doug should go to
SUNY--Stonybrook. For game theory. [Hah, that'll shake him up.]
