OK, at least that mystery is solved.

Of course, "new" and "old" are relative and imprecise terms.  Yet, I think
that most would agree that Marx's  19th Century value theory is no longer
"new".  (Indeed,  original editions of his writings are sometimes sold in
antique shops and antiquarian bookstores).

I think that "rediscovery"  is an expression that is more in keeping with
what has been said elsewhere about the TSSI by its advocates.

In solidarity, Jerry
