This fascinating-looking article quotes Marx as saying "wages of labour 
must equal the production of labour" (based on Eric Roll's citation). Did 
he really say that? It doesn't fit what he said in CAPITAL, while Marx 
didn't believe in a "normative labor theory of value" (i.e. that workers 
_should_ be paid the value produced by their labor).
