From: Loren Goldner <lrgoldner at yahoo.com> Date: December 8, 2006 10:59:52 AM EST To: dhenwood at panix.com Subject: Another one Dear Doug, The following is an intervention from another list, in response to certain critics who argue that primitive accumulation in Marx was a one-off development of the early modern period and no longer exists.
