Fred: You move between referring to a "long-run theory of equilibrium prices" and "real-world equilibrium prices" as if they are the same thing. In what sense, can the equilibrium prices that you are referring to be said to be "real-world" prices? (Among many other issues), in the real world there are barriers to the mobility of means of production and labor power. In the real world it is doubtful whether there is some phenomenon which corresponds to "prices of production". In the real world, there are unequal exchanges. Etc. Etc. In solidarity, Jerry
