Might Dubya's backflip be explained in terms of a contradiction between use
value and exchange value? I mean, it looks like Western Europe (and poor ol'
desertified Oz) will suffer far worse than most of the USA. Sure, the USA
will suffer. The whole human world will. So that's a drop in the planet's
use value for all of us. But the USA will cop a relative advantage, won't it?
Which would enhance the USA's exchange value ...
Or not?
