39421 Capital Productivity -- rank: 1000
matt hogan wrote: > Is capital more productive than labor? I seem to recall Doug >stating that productivity of capital is in a thirty year downtrend. According to the official productivity stats, yes. But the idea of the "productivity of capital" is problematic for several reasons. What is a unit of capital? There's no physical unit comparable to an hour of labor (and while there are all kinds of labor, you can at least average it all out), and how do you value a monetary uni ...

To quote Bryan Ferry, throwaway lines often ring true. Of course, Carrol, I can't resist the temptation of zeroing in on the very line you now disavow.

Yoshie Furuhashi wrote: >I take Lacan's claim to be "the most orthodox" of Freudians seriously Why? Just because he said so? Even though Lacan, for all his charms, was at least a bit of a faker? Even though many other orthodox Freudians, including those who expelled him from the realm of the orthodox, would disagree? Even though the whole aspiration towards being an orthodox Freudian - like that towards being an orthodox Marxist - is more than a little bizarre? Doug
