I'm sure you're right about this. But, I don't recall discussion in the history of thought and/or Marxian literature on how the LTGRPD could be thought of, *in part*, as an implicit critique of the Smithian invisible hand doctrine. Of course, there may have been (and I may have read it years ago) but -- if so -- I don't remember it. I raised the issue, as an aside, on OPE-L many years ago, but no one bit. In solidarity, Jerry
