[lbo-talk] Heartfield on Henryk Grossman and more

[James Heartfield]

Rakesh, very kind about my review of Henryk Grossmann, objects to my 
characterisation of him trying to bring about the downfall of capitalism 
algebraically. OK, I probably should not have stuck him in a list of Marx 
scholars, which does tend to minimise the differences between them, and 
looking again, I see that he gives more weight to the 'counteracting 
tendencies'.

Still, reading the passage of his that Rakesh cites I think the meaning of 
it is that evidence of economic recovery ('the apparent recovery of US 
profitability') is to be discounted on theoretical grounds.

On the comments in Rakesh's first post, I think they are very helpful, and I 
am looking forward to a fuller exposition of the point about Keynes.
