Dea Ernesto,

I thought, and still think, that you are not Kliman, so you are able
to bear different opinions.

You know very well a lot of our disagreements, since we discussed
them in many occasions.

To say only one thing, you attribute to Marx a belief in Locke's
proposition according to which in the natural order (translated as
production in general) the value of the product is the product of
labour, so that value is created by labour.

This for me is definitely wrong. I have written about that a lot, and
I don't see in your writings any reasonable support to your
interpretation.

You know that I am against dogmatism, and mine is an INTERPRETATION
of Marx, as yours. On THIS plane, there is nothing wrong in a
serious, non dogmatic research of what Marx really said, as in what
Sraffa, or Keynes, or Schumpeter, ore even Ernesto really said.

That said, among us, your phrase about me as true believer is stupid.

friendly

riccardo
