Paolo: thanks for the reference.  Others can download Anwar's 
(2002) paper on "Labor Market Dynamics Within Rival 
Macroeconomic Frameworks" at: 
http://homepage.newschool.edu/~AShaikh/papers.html

Perhaps the conclusion about the (non-) role of class struggle
in altering the wage-profit share within these perspectives
reveals also the *limitations of growth theory* ... including non-
linear growth theory ... and determinant mathematical models 
in theorizing capitalist dynamics.

In solidarity, Jerry 

  The site you sent has a link to Anwar home page. There you can find a paper on labor market dynamics where he examones four diferent approaches: neoclasscal, keynesian, Harrod, and Goodwin-Marx. His conclusion is that in none of them labor strenght has any effect on wage share. It is a rather provocative finding. Since this is related to the thread on wage share I think it could be useful for those who have not read it yet.
