Hi, Steve. I'd have the grad student start with Roemer's article "Should
Marxists be interested in exploitation?", printed as Ch. 13 in the Cambridge
U Press volume ANALYTICAL MARXISM. He can go from there to Roemer's book, A
GENERAL THEORY OF EXPLOITATION AND CLASS, if he wants to see the technical
details. Gil
