==================== HES POSTING ===================== The fundamental difficulty I see in Marx and, for that matter, in Classics, is the problem inherent in the concept of embodied labor. If you want to ignore this problem and find in Marx other elements which are useful to the understanding of economic dynamics, this is fine but insufficient to claim that you have a Marxist theory. As to the generality of discussion, this is inevitable in a mailing list and any point, of course, needs further qualifications. Though it is useful to throw up ideas or, sometimes, intuitions.
