G'dayt Thaxists,

As something of a wide-eyed beginner, I've found *Ricardo, Marx, Sraffa*
(Verso, 1984) edited by Mandel and Freeman very useful, both for some
clearly written text (esp. Mandel, Freeman, Shaikh, Farjoun and Romero) and
the odd bit of almost decipherable algebra.  Steedman is generally the
point of departure here, so you learn a good bit about his argument
accordingly.

I seem to like anything Freeman writes (he seems always to keep a sincerely
interested but not necessarily theoretically advanced reader in mind).

Gotta go.

Cheers,
Rob.
