I read you paper, and the Marxian idea of ???reproduction costs??? as a proper regulator for ???originary factors of production??? is basically limited to the political idea of de-commodifying these factors, which finds its counterpart in mixed economies without necessarily blowing market prices away for the allocation of non-primary goods.

Besides, market as a rationing mechanism could be enhanced if we take an heterodox perspective inspired by market socialists. An outstanding example is the European Carbon Emission Trading Market.
