That was not at all my point, Rakesh. I think this discussion of quantum
mechanics is interesting, but quite irrelevant to economics of any
persuasion. But I take Allin's point that people can use the apparent
"dismissal" of a materialist conception of matter as a club with which to
beat Marx. So it's just nice to show that the club may be double-barrelled.
Cheers,
Steve
