Andy:
1. Go to http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/index.htm
Go to the "Search Using Local Htdig database". Under "Select
Archive to Search", select "Capital and Economic Mss" then
enter the word "embodied". Hit the "Search!" button. I got 75
matches. Doesn't this suggest that "embodiment" was a
concept (or a metaphor) that Marx also employed -- at least
at times? Doesn't this suggest that there isn't quite as strong
a contrast between Marx ("congealment") and Ricardo
("embodiment") as you are suggesting above?
2. What meaningful difference is there between saying that
value is SNLT "embodied" in a commodity versus saying
that value is SNLT "congealed" in a commodity? As far
as I can tell, "embodied" and "congealed" (and "crystallized")
all mean the same thing in this context.
In solidarity, Jerry
