I Don't Care to Belong to a Club That Accepts People Like Me as Members

For some reason, some of the bloggers on my blogroll have simultaneously decided to talk about Marx:

• For once, I don't strongly object to Brad DeLong's take (other for than the emotional hostility directed towards Foley)
• I read Theories of Surplus Value before I read the first volume of Capital
• DSquared also has a go. Elsewhere he recommends a book I wonder if I should purchase.

I long ago put up some comments on the labor theory of value. To me, important difficulties come with the theory of joint production.
