I really don't know the answer to this, which is why I'm asking the
question. So far what I've heard from the value partisans hasn't been very
convincing, but I'm open to argument. I'm talking about understanding the
evolution of capitalist economies over time, not the existence of
exploitation, which I take as a certainty. I'm all ears, Jerry, or anyone
else who has something to say.
