Hi Paula:
 
What is it exactly that you want to know? Why faux frais don't create
surplus value? Faux frais don't represent variable capital. If I say
that only capital which takes the form of variable capital has the potential
to be productive of value and surplus value, will you take that also to be
an assertion which needs explanation?
 
In solidarity, Jerry
