Hi Jerry I guess the the ordering of Fine / Saad-Filho's short book likely to be different to 'Capital' itself. I'd have to think, in any case, about the whole issue of 'order' when it comes to historical material. This is because systematic dialectics helps us think about order of systematic material but there is no such body of work re incorporation of historical material. Ilyenkov and Zeleny would be too useful sources here, I guess. Andy On 27 Mar 2004 at 13:51, Gerald A.
