Hi Anders: Good points. Further studies in the theory of rent could have been taken-up in the "special study on competition", which Marx - of course - didn't write. A question posed here is explaining the mechanism by which one class or section of a class is able to extort value from another class or section of the same class. Hence, it concerns the ways in which class and market power affect the ways in which value is distributed. The discussion of values and PoP in _Capital_ is at a much higher level of abstraction and a topic related to the theory of rent (natural monopolies) is excluded by assumption from the transformation calculations. In solidarity, Jerry
