To all,

An archives reader asked me:

    Marx's Economics: A Monetary Interpretation".  Published online. See
     my OPE-L posts dated September 4 and 8

For a different perspective on the issue of the money commodity,
see some of the writings of (OPE-L members) Claus Magno Germer
and Akira Matsmoto.  Akira and Claus: could you provide full
references?

Undoubtedly, I've missed a bunch of 'recent' sources (which I am
interpreting, because its the earliest date for the sources above,
as 1994 or after).  Perhaps our 'editors', including Paul Z, David
L, and Gary M could suggest other references? Could other
listmembers give this comrade some suggestions for further reading?

Please don't feel shy about suggesting your own writings.

In solidarity, Jerry
