Hi Howard:
Close: What I was suggesting is that capitalist competition and
free labor (which, along with the laws of motion of capital, gives
rise to the industrial reserve army, which is at least tendentially
reproduced) are essential characteristics of capitalism. This is
NOT to say that they are the ONLY such characteristics. I posed
it in the form of a question because I would like to see arguments how
a society in which there was no capitalist competition or free
labor (in the dual sense of the term) can be considered to be
capitalist.
in solidarity, Jery
