Victor is quite right. It follows from the definition
of value as socially necessary labour time that changes in
technology that devalue elements of constant capital
prevent them from passing on their value to the product.

Perhaps I did not convey my response clearly. My intention is not to
conclude that Canada is rich and the Third World is poor, but to
explain why that might be the case. The implication: while you are

Of course I know that Canada is a rich country, not a Third World one. Do
I have to state the obvious before drawing the parallels between Canada
and the Third World, though? Maybe I'm too fond of economy in expression,
but it didn't really seem necessary.

The US is one of the least densely populated countries in the world, yet
it's one of the most violent. NYC is our most densely populated city but
its violent crime rate is lower than the overgrown suburbs called Dallas
and Atlanta. Can't be density, can it?

Canada is white settler colony, having eliminated indigenous population.
Therefore, new institutions geared toward capital accumulation could be

These were some of my earlier thoughts on this issue. I have not
followed the discussion in detail.
Ajit Sinha asks what problem I was trying to solve in my
