Well ... if we assume conditions of capitalist production [which are
excluded under the *strict* v = 0 assumption], then labor would still
require means of production to produce commodities. Certainly, constant
*circulating* capital would be required.
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when when first we attempt to reduce
complex non-linear dynamic processes into simple one-sector models.
