I agree with Michael on one thing - I do not want to repeat arguments  
on which we must just agree to differ.  
 
I must, however, protest at his misunderstanding of my last post. He  
says that I believe 'that the classical political economists would  
not or could not let ideological concerns shape their writings.' But my 
last post said exactly the opposite: 'The classicals were politically  
aware and politically motivated.' What I do not believe is that their  
silence about the game laws was motivated by the factors that Michael  
adduces. I have already explained why.
