Hi Charles,

I'm not sure which article of Michael Perelman's you are referring
to.  But he's on this list, of course, so perhaps the best way to
clarify matters is for Michael to indicate whether there's
anything in my account he disagrees with.

Andrew Kliman

CB: I should note that it was my speculation that extended an idea that Michael discussed to the transformation problem. And I might add that your helpful comment shows me that I was wrong in extending it that far.  I will be taking a study at Vol. III, Chapter 9.

I "think I was thinking" that the price of any given individual commodity would not be related in a mathematical function to its value. That may be trivial , I don't know. But your correction of me regarding the totality of prices and values is interesting, although I had learned that before at some point.

Lets see, price is the expression of the value of a commodity in temrs of the money commodity or in terms of money.

This is a reply to Charles Brown's pen-l 22901.  (I hope to
respond to Tom Walker's question in pen-l 22893 soon.)

Andrew,

Thanks for taking the time to give that summary of your thinking.

I want to note that I got the take on the transformation issue
that I posed from reading Michael Perelman's article on
devaloration.
