A response to Steve Keen's ope-l 3231.

I don't see why a critique of Sraffianism needs 2+ sectors. The basic logic
of Sraffianism is that of the corn model, as the Sraffians themselves say. A
main point, if not the main point, of their theory is to show that relative
price variations are of little significance and technology and distribution
(conceived as independent of relative price variations) are of great
importance.

I'd be interested in studying your work critiquing Sraffianism, Steve. But
please don't bother sending by snail mail if there's another way.
