The economists have changed Marx, in various ways; the point is to interpret him
— correctly.
The 1st Thesis on Marxian Economics (above) is featured, in Portuguese!, on the www.comunistas.info website: "Os economistas passam o tempo a modificar Marx, de diversos modos; a questão é interpretá-lo -- correctamente."

"For over a hundred years, mainstream economists have argued that Marx's labour theory of value cannot handle the relation between value and price, and that Marx's theory is 'internally contradictory' on this basis. However, I've been reading Andrew Kliman's latest book "Reclaiming Marx's 'Capital': A Refutation of the Myth of Inconsistency" which once and for all refutesthese crass claims.
"Check out Kliman! It's not an easy read, but I think that it constitues a tremendously powerful refutation of all those smart ass economist dude arguments that 'Marx is inconsistent', and therefore not worth studying."
-- Glenn Rikowski, educational theorist, on MySpace, July 26, 2007

"My chief inspiration here is the Cambridge-Italian economist Piero Sraffa .... I was impressed with Kliman's refutation of the Okishio theorem. I didn't think that was possible, and I couldn't see any mistakes in his refutation."
-- Robert Vienneau, Thoughts on Economics (lead blog article and article of April 25, 2007)

June 13, 2006:
See the New, Expanded, Stop Character Assassination page!
Owing to an agreement with the character assassin (Jerry 
Levy), I removed the original Stop Character Assassination page shortly after its creation last month. But -- true to form -- he promptly violated the agreement, so it is back online, and expanded. See details inside.
May 22 is Victory for Pluralism Day!
Levy is not feeling very good today. The activity is disheartening to him.

Free, to 1st 50 takers!! My “Screpanti vs. Marx on Exploitation: A comment.” This short paper has just been published in the Review of Political Economy, 18:2, pp. 265-69, April 2006. I expose the latest false claim to have "proved" that Marx's value theory is logically inconsistent, a claim which is the lynchpin of the physicalists' campaign to suppress Marx's critique of political economy in its original form. Please let me know if you would like a copy of this comment as it appears in the journal. The publisher has sent me an "e-print" (pdf file), which I can distribute to the 1st 50 people who ask.
