I received this request on another mailing list, and the only place I could think of that had anyone who would be willing to argue these was here.

HB


>I am teaching a course on Marx's _Capital_, Vols. II and III at
>the Brecht Forum in New York City. Although most of the sessions
>are strictly on the texts, a couple will be devoted to "Critiques
>and Defenses of Marx." To make things fair, balanced, evenhanded,
>I am interested in conducting such sessions as debates. The
>questions to be debated are:
>
>(1) Marx's account of the transformation of values into
>production prices has been proven to be internally inconsistent or
>in error.
>
>(2) It has been proven that, contrary to what Marx's theory
>states, the effect of technological progress cannot be to lower
>the general rate of profit.
>
>I am looking for someone willing to argue *in favor* of one or
>both of these propositions. I will be arguing against them. The
>first topic will be discussed on March 20. The tentative date for
>the second is April 17. The class runs 2 hours (5:30-7:30 p.m.).
>Each side will have equal time, and I am flexible about other
>conditions. I can also pay reasonable travel expenses to New
>York.
>
>Please write to me if you're interested in taking the opposing
>side in the debate. If you know someone else who you think may be
>willing to take the opposing side in the debate, please ask them
>to write to me.
>
>Thanks,
>
