Ricardian socialist Thomas Hodgskin's pamphlet "Labour defended", which I have now read and like very much

Although I don't think it is very important who said what and when, for the record, I fully grokked the concept of "coexisting labor" only very recently and I got it from Michael Perelman's book "Marx's crisis theory" (1987), and Michael gets it from Marx, who seems to have borrowed it from the Ricardian socialist Thomas Hodgskin's pamphlet "Labour defended", which I have now read and like very much.
 
I do agree Jurriaan that you are titling at windmills if you think Dave and Paul have some kind of "physicalist" understanding of labor embodied. The ontological status of labor-value is surprisingly subtle, and everyone is right to emphasize Marx's point that is has a "purely social reality".
 
Best wishes,
-Ian.
