I'm going to write a more extended review -- more like close reading. Sorry Carrol, I started back with Postone this afternoon, but MR could also use my blathering! (disclosure: not that I think it matters that much, but this household is supported, in part, by working for MR on a part-time basis. Just to get that out of the way.)
If you're already interested, you can order the book here: http://www.monthlyreview.org/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=MRS&Product_Code=PB1849&Category_Code=ECON
