Oh please help us, then. How is money different from a numeraire? And relatedly please clarify for us the answer to these two questions: i. what for Marx is the mystery of money? Relatedly, what is fetishistic about money and what does Marx mean by the peculiarities of the equivalent form? ii. how does Marx attempt to account for and dissipate this mystery or fetishism or peculiarity? Oh, I forgot, you have already proclaimed that what Marx has to say about money is of no interest. But your argument for this seemed to be that that had to be so because you had found no reason to write about it in your interpretations of the first part of Capital. Rakesh
