O.K. Now Ricardo reveals himself as a mere ideologue, since he too
is intent on confusing the origins and growth of capitalism, and to twist
things to his particular ideological perspective he has to engage in
clumsy badmouthing of Wood. Of course her writing is political --
as is any intellectually respectable writing in 1999.
