[lbo-talk] Hillis Miller on de Man, Marx, & the Internet

[Richard Harris]

AN: In certain cases, like among people who
assume the chapters on simple commodity production are
intended to depict a real historical stage of human
history, the reading of Marx is outright wrong. 

CB: Prove it.  You don't think there were historical societies with barter ?

Chris Arthur deals with this at:

The issue here is not the claim that barter never took place.  The claim is 
that the discussion in Capital is not about an historical period of 
pre-money barter.
