Hi Phil,

It is tied to the Ricardian inability to formulate a theory of surplus
value.  Once such a theory is formulated -- and once one recognizes
divergences of value from price -- then one can conceptualize the
*transfer of surplus value* among capitalists and from capitalists to
landlords in the form of rent.

In solidarity, Jerry
