Jerry, just a quick reply to clear up a confusion. When I wrote "strive for equality" I did not mean the actors literally strive for a given equal return (either wages or profits), but rather that they continually strive for equality with each other under competitive circumstances. If any particular actors get away from the pack, the rest chase them down, but there's always a distribution of returns in the pack. That is, I'd expect returns to have a narrower dispersion than would otherwise be the case. So I agree with your point about capitalists striving for inequality with each other. Will write more when I get the chance, but just wanted to mention this quickly. -Ian. On Mon, 13 Sep 2004 20:51:59 -0400, Gerald A. Levy <gerald_a_levy@msn.com> wrote:
