> I agree that it is socially pointless to speculate on this it is merely in the context of Klimans assuming zero> wages and Ajits response that I mentioned it Paul C: The irony here is that Kliman's book (and the TSSI in general) stress that they are *interpretations* of Marx. Furthermore, as Anders emphasized, Kliman's book concerns the question of the internal consistency of *Marx's* thought. Yet, Marx never assumed zero wages. This is an assumption which comes from Sraffa, not Marx. This fact that much of the TSSI engagement with other perspectives has been fought on "Sraffian terrain" is not generally recognized by the author: some of the TSSI advocates, imho, have become unwittingly Neo-Sraffians. In solidarity, Jerry
