If I understand wikipedia correctly, should I choose, I could get into a

 Yet, no one would know WHO edited what.  It's offensive, as far as I am
concerned, if I understand things at wikipedia correctly (anyone: please
correct me if I am wrong about its process).
    

Hi Paul Z:

If someone was really interested in the evolution of an entry, then
s/he could click on 'history' at the top of the page.  Many controversial
entries also have content under 'discussion' and there can be a warning in
the page that what has been written has not been authenticated and is
controversial.  The identity of authors can be cryptic, however, and it's
not always easy to identify who is the author of what.  But, yes, if you
wanted to, you (or anyone else) who has an account with them can sign in
and edit the TSSI or other entries.

In solidarity, Jerry

PS to Jurriaan: did you notice the (4/6) comment by Kliman that he "added
material on what the TSSI is really about, corrected major
misstatements ...."?

THE TEMPORAL SINGLE-SYSTEM INTERPRETATION OF
MARX’S ECONOMICS: A CRITICAL EVALUATION
Roberto Veneziani*
London School of Economics and Political Sciences and
Università degli Studi di Siena
(October 2002; revised November 2002)
ABSTRACT
The temporal single-system (TSS) quantitative approach to Marx’s economics is analysed. It is shown
that TSS models lack a clear equilibrium concept and a coherent (dis)equilibrium methodology, and
that Marx’s propositions on value and exploitation are tautologically obtained (i) by constructing a
money costs theory of value, where by assumption values are equal to market prices, apart possibly
from short-run deviations; and (ii) by arbitrarily assuming that the undefined monetary _expression_ of
labour time is positive. In general, the shortcomings of the analytical framework make TSS claims,
including the proofs of the law of the tendential fall in the profit rate, unwarranted.

Does any body know if there is a response of  the TSS followers to this critic? By the way Steedman suport this critic to TSS.
