Rakesh, I'm not clear on your answer. What I was looking for is page citations to Luxemburg, not page citations to Mattick on Luxemburg. Do I understand your answer to be that the relevant citation is to Marx's schemes of extended reproduction in Volume 2 and that Marx was somehow at fault in misleading people, including Luxemburg, with his schemes. As you can see, I'm just confused what is going on here.
