Lulu's line seems to be that exploitation ain't exploitation unless it can be measured (and, further, that it can be measured only when it takes the form of the production of commodities). But what is the justification for that view? We may not be able to quantify the degree of exploitation of, say, a peasant in a feudal society, but we can certainly say that the peasant class as a whole is exploited. Where else does the food consumed by the landlords, priests, etc come from? =========================Allin Cottrell Department of Economics Wake Forest University cottrell-AT-wfu.edu (910) 759-5762 ========================= ------------------
