Riccardo Bellofiore gives the reference to Burawoy mentioned by Bill
Mitchell, then suggests:

I'm not sure if the full lectures are available in English, but there
is one chapter included in the collection ROSA LUXEMBURG SPEAKS
edited by Mary-Alice Waters (Pathfinder Press, 1970, reprinted 1991),
entitled "What is Economics?" that discusses Charlemagne's household
in terms similar to Duncan Foley's point (as well as to Steve
Keen's).

Riccardo: Are the "lectures on Marxist political economy" that you
referred to the ones Luxemburg did for the SPD's special party school
in Berlin? If not then then the chapter I referred to above must be
from a different primary source than the one you mentioned.

I agree with Riccardo about the 'gulf' between relatively heavy
participants and others in ope-l, and will therefore not be posting
anything for awhile since I think I am one of the ones who has
relatively over-posted lately (in terms of length and number of
posts).
