Re [OPE-L:4912]: Hi Paul Z. > DIATRIBE? I agree, in retrospect, that this was a poor choice of words. A more accurate expression might have been "dismissive comments" as in: > When I hear it, I always check to see > that my wallet hasn't been lifted. > Jerry's quoted passage doesn't seem to directly bear on "levels of > abstraction" as the phrase does not appear in the passage. The passage from Marx via Fred was not indended to directly bear on that issue. It was intended to directly bear on the context of the passage from Ch. 6 re the debate that Fred and Andrew have been having over what can cause a change in prices of production. That is why I introduced it with "Re Vol 3, Ch 6". (Maybe you missed that line). In solidarity, Jerry
