Ah, you tease.
Still and all, there remains a good argument--beyond even such (personalistic) empirical observations as Miller/Volcker or RubinSummers/O'Neill--for contemplating financial CIRCUITS (not fractions) of M-M' in contrast to C-M-C'-M' (as I think we debated some weeks ago?). Doug, don't you have the Kees van der Pijl book, The Making of an Atlantic Ruling Class (Verso, 1984), to check the appendix on this matter? You can come along in this direction, you know, without the Poulantzian baggage...
