Rakesh reproduced a post from another list by Andrew K on Brenner in
[OPE-L:471]. Andrew writes in passing:

Fred: when did you convert to simultaneism?

Andrew: in what sense can it be said that Fred is a "simultaneist"?

Also: why does *Fred's interpretation* -- re "givens" in Marx's theory --
require that "riding (sic) productivity and falling values will RAISE, not
lower, the profit rate"?
