I saw on BookTV that even the right wing libertarian Mark Skousen thinks that Marx's distinction between barter and monetary circulation is fundamental, one of the great economic ideas. Yet he had very little idea of the depth of Marx's thinking. But then so too have most Marxists had little grasp of the profound dialectics at work--excepting of course Evald Ilyenkov who drank himself to death in 1979.
Perhaps Chris Doss knows more about him?
