Andrew, I haven't the energy or inclination to debate with you or Charles on the matter. I've read your work and learned from it, but I don't agree. I'm not an economist, I'm a practicing lawyer, I do econ on the side. I mainly thought about this stuff ages ago when I was a prof (stuill not an economist, I was a philosophy professor) and had the time to think about things that didn't interest me directly and I wasn't getting paid to do. I came to the conlusion that, so far as I could understand it, the Sraffan criqtique was about right, and it dovetailed with my own conclsuion that as far as I could see, you can say everything I wanted to say in Marx without value theory, That was not arrived at by an internal critique but by the experience of saying it without VT. I still am not taht interested in VT, but I'm not going to admit "defeat"; lots of people I respect, including Gil, seem to agree with me, and I will defer to them. If I was more interested, I'd try again. But I suspect that nonething anyone could say would sway you. jks _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com
