Emendation: The last paragraph in the body of my recent response to
Duncan contains the passage:
>
> A logically separate question is whether capitalist exploitation *requires*
> the capitalist mode of production. Marx's response to this is
> explicitly historically contingent, rather than categorical, as
> Duncan suggests.
This should read "requires the capitalist mode of production *in
practice* (as opposed to *by definition*)."
