Jerry,

I understand your point, but it's still unclear to me how, if you assume a
marginalist concept of value (as an expression of intensity of subjective
preference for a good or service), an economic exchange could be said to be
a trade of unequal values at all - wouldn't it simply be a difference in
subjective perceptions?
