[OPE-L:1309] Re: more re advertising and productive labour

To the extent that advertising makes a person willing to pay more for a good than s/he
would otherwise, to call advertising productive would seem to reflect the old profit
upon alienation theory (circulation based) rather than Marx's idea about the surplus
from the dual nature of labor.
