[lbo-talk] Understanding _Capital_ (Was Re: barbaric)

[Carrol Cox]

Proposition, which I am not going to defend: A major, if not _the_ major
goal of a socialist regime in any industrialized nation is to slow
practically to zero the rate of innovation. Given basic needs,
innovation in products or in production techniques is (except under
extraordinary circumstances) destructive of human well-being.
