The most controversial part of the book was my claim that primitive accumulation was ongoing.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anthony D'Costa Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2012 2:32 PM To: Progressive Economics Subject: Re: [Pen-l] eXiled gives props to Perelman's "Invention of Capitalism" I am working on a framework in which primitive capitalism coexists with mature capitalism and persistent petty commodity production. The empirical materials are drawn from India but it will be a while before I have something for the public. I argue that these three legs are integral to contemporary capitalism as it unfolds in India. Cheers, Anthony xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Anthony P.

Primitive accumulation behind the high-tech computer screens. I call it the "Financial Enclosure of Tangible and Intangible Commons." Rent is the key, not profit, to understand our day. Hence, my questioning of "surplus value." How much "surplus value" is there in a real estate price, if that price is much larger than the present value of future rents you will collect from it? What is the difference between the present value of future rents and the current value of the real estate? Could it be just "good-will"? How much "surplus value" is there in "good-will"?
