What are the criteria for determining that capitalism is a completed system?
Neither you or Joanna have produced a shard of evidence over the years that the so-called ltv does any explanatory work whatsoever.
To paraphrase Hume:
Does the ltv explain the inability of human beings to deal with global warming?
Does it explain how/why one faction of the capitalists in the US want a strong dollar while there are PhD. economists who think the dollar should fall?
Does it explain why union density is falling in Germany and the US?
Does it explain the current commodities bubble? Does it explain *any* bubble?
Does it explain why the USG decided to destroy Iraq?
Does it explain why the working class in China and India are unable to get better wastewater treatment plants?
If can't even help explain *any* of the above issues perhaps it should be consigned to the flames?
----------- I'm so confused. Why should LTV explain any of the above?
