Dear Ranganayakamma,


I know that David Laibman and Paul Cockshott have read your three
volume introduction to Marx's Capital. David's Science and Society
review was critical from the view point (if I remember correctly)
modern economic methods.  May I say that I found them analytically
meticulous, insightful, and of the greatest service in my attempts to
relate the  ideas of Marx's life long work. I do have some
disagreements about how you handle Marx's crisis theory and the
question of the operationn of fiat monies.

Yours, Rakesh
