sorry about going over quota again, michael, but I can't resist. Also, I read about the quota after writing two missives this morning. So _now_ I've hit the ceiling, as it were.
Bob quotes Rick Wolff saying that, "Marx defined class not in terms of wealth, income, or power, but rather in terms of the surplus." So the essence of Marx's view is surplus production? I thought his school was against essentialism. the term "Amherst school" of Marxism is not apt, since Bob Pollin is himself at UMass-Ahmerst. I call the Wolff-Resnick school "post-modernist Marxism." It's a mixed phenomenon, including both post-modernism (boo!) and Marxism (yay!). But reasonable observers may disagree with my value judgments. On 11/6/06, Louis Proyect <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
