Hi Jerry

There was a conference in Rome last year,  organised, I think,  by Laboratorio per la Critical Sociale.  Ernesto Screpanti's paper was entitled 'Value and Exploitation: A Counterfactual Approach'.  From the first paragraph:

.. Cavallaro's appeal to beware of mystifying labour values lets us hope that the search can proceed along correct lines today, avoiding certain scholastic forcings which we have witnessed in the past, although the interventions of Carchedi, Freeman and Kliman seem to want to kill this hope at birth.

This could well elicit a response.

I have a hardcopy. I will bring it to Washington.
