In reference to Allin's 4982, Jerry wrote: "I also am doubtful about the applicability of using the multiplier analogy re TSSI interpretations since at least one well-known TSSI advocate has explicitly written about "The Fallacy of the Multiplier" (see Mino Carchedi _Frontiers of Political Economy_, pp. 210-211). I also don't think that the multiplier interfaces too well with the conservation of value principle which seems to be accepted by TSSI advocates." To me, at least, Allin's comments had little to do with the "multiplier" as a concept but rather pointed out that processes take time and may not work themselves out in what can be called "a period." Hence, dealing with the concept of the multiplier in this context is, at best, strange. Note that Fred's emphasis on Marx's 2 causes for changes in prices of production in discussing Andrew's efforts on the transformation procedure is seen by most as Allin does. In other words, the matter is no big deal. In tennis terms, it appears as a net ball to me. John
