OPE-L (was Re: Krugman on Marx)

[Carrol Cox]

Shortly after Mark Jones first appeared on the old m-i (SPOONS) list a
debate on the silly transformation problem erupted, and Mark posted a
very fine account of the irrelevance of that technical and technistic
debate. I believe Doug contributed some perceptive posts also. I would
like to see those contributions reposted.

The best published dismissal I ever read of a 100 years of anti-marxian
claptrap on value was by an anarchist rather than a marxist, Fredy
Perlman, Introduction to I.I. Rubin, *Essays on Marx's Theory of Value*
(Detroit: Black and Red), 1972.

Are there other studies insisting on the historical and political as
opposed to technically "Economic" thrust of the theory?
