(1) To Gil: Have you read Tadao Horie's _Marx's *Capital* and one free
world: a fundamental reappraisal of his political economy_ (NY, St.
Martin's Press, 1991: ISBN 0-312-04800-9)? Ch. 3 of that book
(originally published as "An Error Common to the Transformation of
Money into Capital and the Primitive Accumulation", _Waseda Economic
Papers_, No. 19, 1980) seems to pre-date a lot of your Ch. 5 critique.
(2) For Makoto, Iwao, Michio, and/or Mariko: there is a section at the end
of the chapter on the positions of Uno and Otsuka re this topic. Has
there been a "Ch. 5 debate" in Japan? If so, what are the relevant
sources and positions? Also: has there been a comprehensive reply to
Horie's book (which addresses many other topics, btw) in Japanese?
In solidarity, Jerry
