Rakesh and Chris,

Actually Chris's post is useful in showing just how far a variant of
value form theory can get towards a the sort of position I am
advocating. It is still not far enough, in my view, because the emphasis
is still too strongly upon the appearance form of value (money and
price) as opposed to the essence of value (congealed abstract labour) as
the stress on 'form determination' makes clear.


And I wanted to grant a reality to abstract labor outside of the
appearance form of value. I was led to this rethinking by Ian as well
as your earlier 'materialist' criticisms of some variants of VFT. But
my understanding may well change again (and hopefully will) in the
dialectics of discussion.

 So I have got a lot out
of the discussion - am not frustrated any more! - and am happy to agree
to disagree for now.

Many thanks,

Andy
