[Marxism] RE: Query about scalping

[Brian Shannon <Brian_Shannon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

But...when all is said and done, I suspect that we're actually
talking about a variety of customs and traditions [scalping] that
converge when the process is commercialized.
...
.... and, I guess as soon as tickets were used for
admission to baseball games, entrepreneurs
began "scalping" them.
--Mark Lause

The commercialization of scalping! This is a great concept. I hope that
writers on Marxist Economic Theory will integrate this into future
descriptions of commodity production and the integrative role of the
state and private industry in the foundations of capitalism.
