Subject: Re: M-TH: Value: theoretical vs.practice concern


 Oh, one follow up on Kevin's precis of my views. I notice he says that I
say tht forced surplus (value) transfer, i.e., exploitation, is unjust,.
In the ppaper What's Wring With Exploitation? Nous, June 1995, I do say
that I believe this (although I don't argue for the claim), but I also
argue at some length:

	a. That that's not the only thinh wrong with exploitation, which
can be criticizing as freedom denying whether or not it is unjust; that
it, as failing to promote a good rather than as violating a right, and
	b. That _Marx_ thought that what is wrong with exploitation is not
that it is unjust, but that fails to promote the good of freedom.

This doesn't bear (much) on the utility (or lack of it) of value talk.
