Dear all, 

If you could slow down this debate slightly, please can anyone tell 
me if in Marx's own day what the relation between the amount of gold 
in the economy and the amount of other commodies being exchanged was.

Was there (at that time) enough gold he;d to honour all the 
transactions? And if there was not (and I believe there wasn't) what 
was the cause of the short-fall?

I hope this is quite simple and could allow some point of agreement 
before the discussion sinks into a tirade of abuse unrelated to the 
question on Marx's undersanding of the fuction of Gold as the measure 
of value.

Kind regards,

john walker
