Thank you for not once calling me a Stalinist in your angry replies to me, Angelus. I look forward to reading Heinrich's heterodox orthodox textual reading of Marx and would have read it by now if not for work. I am sure that I shall appreciate the intelligence of the interpretation even when I disagree with it. It was only upon the third reading of Sweezy's Theory of Capitalist Development did I come to appreciate its brilliance and see why even the century's greatest anti-Marxist Josef Schumpeter would defend Sweezy. I do not agree with Sweezy as I am sure I shall not agree with Heinrich, and Heinrich surely would not agree with Sweezy. As long as we are talking about exegeses of Marx's work, let me mention other important ones--the GBCP Lessons in Political Economy, circa 1933; William J. Blake Elements of Marxian Economic Theory and Its Criticism, 1939; Geoffrey Kay The Economic Theory of the Working Class; Rangayakamma Introduction to Marx's Capital; Duncan Foley Understanding Marx's Capital. I am sure that Heinrich's work makes its own contribution and will raise the level of discussion and provoke productive discussion and debate.
