I do not disagee that there existed a difference in conception of value, its 
various forms, between Marx and Engels. Engels repeatedly acknowledge Marx as 
the greater man in the theoretical arena. Their ideas intersected on the 
historical trajectory of value as a force mediating human affairs and its 
final destination in the life of society. Karl Marx was of course - Marx. 

What Engels intuitively understood based on his independent study Marx 
unfolded for the world. It is of course Marx name that signifies a specific 
body of theory as opposed to "Engel-ism." It was Marx that reshaped 
dialectics.
