Hi Paul C:

What's the alternative - treating V in a Lassallian sense (the Iron Law of
Wages)
as the money required to reproduce the working class at a strict, physical,
minimum
level irrespective of spatial and temporal (including cultural and 'moral')
considerations? Surely, V must not only include an amount sufficient for
the subsistence
of workers today but their continued reproduction - and that, in many
cultual contexts-
requires workers' savings.

In solidarity, Jerry
