Re: surplus-value

["e. ahmet tonak" <eatonak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The book, which was referred to below, was jointly written by Anwar
Shaikh and myself (Ahmet Tonak) and our estimates go through 1989 --we
may update them, but currently they do not cover the late 90's.  The
relevant part of the book is our discussion of Perlo's earlier
book-length study (1974), where his estimates were sectoral
(manufacturing), not for the entire economy.  Our book  is available
through Amazon's site  (where they some copied pages from the book; the
link is below) and you may read the first chapter in my web site.

Frequently the only possible answer is a critique of the
question and the only solution is to negate the question.
