You got it *almost* right. Taormina, where I lived 1958-68, was part of MG in strict sense (Greek colonies founded in Southern Italy from 8th century BC onward. Neapolis ("new city") was founded later by settlers from Cumae 6th c. BC. Culturally and linguistically, it was certainly a Greek city.

Greece?

In less than a week in Turin, presentation of the 1972-73 Lectures on Marx's Theories of Surplus Value by Claudio Napoleoni, previously unpublished, edited and introduced by me.

it could be a sensible position, though I would qualify a lot: it has more to do with abstraction and real hypostatisation.

A second collection of essays on #Michael-Heinrich #Science-of-Value is out, eds S. Breda & me for.

I am delighted you send me the happy birthday 27 days before the actual event, which has been eclipsed by the fact that on that date I married. And happy that at least my fan club has reached the number 3 or 4. Who's that guy? I imagine that's the one I have to ask his wondeful written presentation.

the way we were

but, as an economist, I have rational expectaction ...

wow

no, I have yet to properly read the entire new translation; but I have several times included sections on translation in my works.

Don't miss the intros.

Great (and intriguing) interview by Frank Ruda and @agonhamza.bsky.social to @adamtooze.bsky.social for Crisis and Critique. Food for thought, even if and when you disagree.

I have followed yesterday evening the discussion at #UMass about the new translation of #Marx 's #CapitalBookI. I found it disappointing for many reasons on which I cannot elaborate on now. On somehow a separate note, a theoretical/political discussion about alternative translations could be good.
