I agree. I also agree that "human labour-power in motion, or human labour, creates value, but is not itself [embodied labour] value". I say that this activity, labour-power in motion or labour activity and value creating activity are identical. Similarly, the value of money and its intrinsic power of command over labour are identical. ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!
