 Ajit, the argument that labour mobility is absent
under simple commodity production rested as I recall
on the fact that the workers own their own means of
production. If that is an argument against equalising
remuneration under scp then the same argument applies
to equalisation of rates of profit, since steel mills
do not convert to silicon foundaries, if the rate of
profit rises in the latter.

An such ideas of equalising tendencies do not require
complete mobility, only that some mobility exists.
That will be sufficient to constrain the dispersion
of the variable under consideration.
