"[T]he pairing of TSS to a "Copernican revolution" was suggested by Alan F and Andrew K themselves in both the title and content of the announcement for their talk." There is no pairing. The announcement doesn't even mention the TSSI. >>>>>>>>>> Andrew is right in the sense that "TSS" and "TSSI" were not explicitly mentioned in the announcement. The title suggested a pairing between a "Copernican Revolution" and Marxian value theory. I will grant you that the title was asked in the form of a *question* and it is therefore at least formally possible that Andrew and/or Alan could decide to answer that question in the form of a negative. (A wise choice, imho). In re-reading the announcement, I noticed that there was the claim that "the NEW VALUE THEORY offers an account of today's global economy ...." (emphasis added, JL). What is "the new value theory" ??? As we all know, and as Ale R reminded us yesterday, TSSI is an interpretation of Marx (hence the "I"). So, the TSSI *can't* be the "new value theory". Just as clearly, Marx's theory of value can't reasonably be described as being a "new value theory". So what is the "new value theory"?
