I mean, Marx did write somewhere, that Ricardo missed the
"intermediate links" (between direct prices and market prices) because
he thought that, not the levels, but the changes of market prices
could be accurately predicted by the changes in direct labor
requirements. Something like that. So, the followers and critics
read that as if Marx's discussion on value was a followup on that,
rather than a complete negation and then refitting of the whole
Ricardian project. So now you see people rediscovering the
Mediterranean, but without the clarity that familiarity with Marx's
work could yield. And then those of us who claim to get it are too
freaking inadequate to the task. :/ The Occupy generation should
include this in their to-do list.
