Sewn up and bagged? Really? Why even bother to analyze anything, to criticize, explicate, even predict what capitalism must do next, since it's all been done. Can you tell me where Marx actually provides a complete theory of crisis? An explanation of overproduction with historical detail such as he produces in vol 1 concerning the conditions in British factories? As a matter of fact, that is exactly what is not sewn up, as sewing it up is a practical, class activity. There's nothing strange about this, since there are no mysterious ways to Marx's dialectic. And whatever the so-called proponents of dialectics might find interesting, Marxists find the actual manifestations of the processes Marx described, analyzed-- but hardly sewed up-- like the tendency of the rate of profit to fall, like the contradiction between means and relations of production, like the transformation of accumulation itself into an obstacle to further accumulation much more interesting, much more Marxist, then parsing commas. Has something to do with those Theses on Feuerbach, I think. ----- Original Message ----- From: "New Tet" <[email protected]> ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
