I have already on several occasions expressed my dissent from this
perspective on a method of inquiry and investigation appropriate for
critical political economy so I won't repeat myself here. Instead, let me
ask a question:
* Since you (and presumably other TSSers) want to *develop* Marx, what
specifically are the directions that you believe need developing and
what insights can TSS give for a research effort that would develop
"*Marx's* Marxism"?
Since TSS is not a homogeneous "school of thought", I ask *each* of the
TSSers on the list (Alan, Andrew, John, Ted) to answer the above question
separately.
