So we return to the start: " The market expresses human need through monetarily effective demand, which presupposes you have money in your pocket to express it, which you may not have. If you do not have it, you have a need which you cannot monetarily validate. So what's new?" If I recall correctly this point precisely was made by Rodbertus ( if Gide is to be believed).

Too much other stuff distracting me. I have no problems with what Engels says here.
