Re: [OPE] Just published: THE NATIONAL QUESTION AND THE QUESTION O F CRISIS (RPE, Vol. 26)

Jerry,

I don't address at all what the other uses of surplus value are. We
know of luxury consumption of capitalists and of course unproductive
labor generally.

If the result holds up, surely it would require careful analysis as to
what the uses consist of and how much.

Then, we'd need to develop our overall analysis as to how the
development of capitalism is affected.
