I didn't mean that you endorse Cohen or Thernborn's interpretation of anything. Maybe this has to do with my yet-clumsy english and the format (and velocity of production) of this messages. I just wanted to stress how far scholars like Cohen and Thernborn have gone with the interpretation of the Marxian concept of profuctive powers, which I interpret are only *productive powers of (concrete) labor*. Thank you again for your comments, they are very helpful. Matías ------------ ¡Ayudá a los chicos navegando!
