: But YOU'RE the one who claimed to have read Capital.

Don: I presume those who defend it read it as well.

: Your points about weather, the passage of time, the consumer's perception of the commodity's worth have all been confronted by Marx in Capital.

: If you think I'm going to spend several hours condensing all of that material for you, you overrate yourself. You're not worth that much effort.

Don: Maxists who don't want to make an effort to defend Maxism?

: BTW, all you forwarded was the naive notion that the CUSTOMER decides value, a concept Adam Smith dispatched around 1776.

Don: And how did he do this?
