Re: Wallerstein's view of wages

[Rosser Jr, John Barkley]

     I don't know about any press conference, but one can 
read it in the volume edited by Freeman and Carchedi from 
two years ago.  David Laibman (are you out there, Dave?) 
along with some others, most notably Gary Mongiovi who 
defends the Sraffian critique view, aren't buying.  David 
and Andrew Kliman got into a bit of a dustup about the 
whole business, although I gather this has become a bit of 
a running road show, :-)....
