Re: Marxist Fianancial Advice

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

it's only "superficial" in Marx's framework. (Note that I put it quotes.) To use somewhat non-Marxian termionology, he saw the volume I stuff as "essential" (the source of surplus-value, the big picture) and the volume II stuff as more superficial. Put another way, if you understand volume I alone, you understand his world-view concerning capitalism, but if you look at volume III alone, you get pretty standard economics for his time. My view is that vol. I is abstract, while vol. III is more concrete and that both are needed.

	I missed this. What's superficial in v 3?
