Hi Hanno,
One highlight on this list was the discussion between Chris Arthur
and Andrew Brown on value form theories. Chris' interpretation turned
out to be so nuanced that there was not as much conflict between the
two as one would think. Andrew has attempted to transcend that
conflict as have Alfredo Saad Filho. Have you seen the latter's Value
of Marx?
Yours, Rakesh
