One of the things I don't get is how the usual way of correcting Marx's transformation procedure applies when we assume that fixed capital is *really* present. Here are a couple of things I don't get. 1. Is the rate of profit or the RRI equal in all sectors after the transformation? 2. How do you compute the values that are to be transformed from a given set of physical quantities? I suppose the underlying confusion is my lack of understanding how much of what is said about the transformation problem can be extended to an economy in which fixed capital is *really* present. I'll skip any thoughts about moral depreciation for now as that brings in still more issues. John
