>Bourgeois economics failing to see the historically produced nature of the >subject makes it >a constitutive category. Hi Paul C: Some Marxists (e.g. Hilferding, Bukharin) have made the opposite mistake: i.e. they counter-posed an "objective" theory of value to the "subjective" (marginalist) theory of value. >The outlook of bourgeois economics is irremediably tied to the social >relations of bourgeois society and it can not imagine human beings except >in their form as 'subjects'. And many Marxists have not been able to conceive of classes in bourgeois society other than as "objective" entities. Yet, classes and other agents in bourgeois soceity come to be both objects and subjects. The point simply is that value and price and the larger subject matter (capitalism) have constituite elements which are both objective and subjective. The answer to the one-sided nature of bourgeois theory is not to develop another, opposing one-sided theory. In solidarity, Jerry
