It looks to me like Google is your friend here. Try Googling:

"justin schwartz" AND "unproductive labor"

I found all kinds of stuff, going as far back as the 1990s.

As some of you know I have argued here at various times the the productive/unproductive labor distinction is specious, that any labor the bosses can turn into profit involves extraction of SV and is source of non-rent profits. I foolishly agreed to give a short presentation on this despite my other obligations. I'd be much obliged if people could:

1. Tell me how I could find my old posts on this topic in the archives;

2. Offer other suggestions for reading (moderate length)

and

3. Offer any comments or idea on this topic that they may have.

Thanks.
