Hi David Y:

I think that the standard of living of the working class in the advanced capitalist nations is more
related to technological change and productivity growth and its consequences in terms of
the class struggle than in neo-colonial plunder. [NB: this is not to say that plunder plays no role ....]

In emphasizing 'monopoly capitalism' aren't you down-playing the role of increasing relative surplus
value as the primary form through which surplus value is increased in advanced capitalism?

In solidarity, Jerry
