TO PEN-L SUBSCRIBERS; This is for those interested in controversies in theoretical Marxian economics. The attempt to pit Marx against Engels, to show Engels as an opponent of Marx, and to refute Engels while purportedly defending Marx, is one way of indirectly attacking Marxism as a whole. This is the method employed by John Weeks in the first two chapters of his 1981 book, _Capital and Exploitation_. A working paper is available on the internet which defends the theoretical unity of Marx and Engels and explains where Weeks goes wrong. At the same time, the paper summarizes the views of Marx and Engels on the historical development of the category of value. To access this paper, use ftp or gopher and go to csf.colorado.edu.
