Achille Loria, an Italian econom...<i>Who is that guy?</i><br /><br />Achille Loria, an Italian economist who claimed that an inconsistency existed between Capital volumes I and III, who has been cited regularly by you-know-who since April.<br /><br />These days he's best known for having come under heavy fire throughout Engels's <a href="https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1894-c3/supp.htm" rel="nofollow">Supplement</a> to Capital vol 3. In fact, that's how our blogger pal encountered him; his first reference was to note "Frederick Engels quoted some of Achille Loria’s criticisms" before reproducing them. No reference was made to the fact that the document was criticizing them, nor was a link provided so people could see that context for themselves. Pretty much par for the course with this chap.<br /><br />The "inconsistency between volumes" angle isn't taken seriously by any scholar of Marx I'm aware of, regardless of theoretical camp or political persuasion. That's why you have to go all the way back to Loria or Böhm-Bawerk (or, e.g., Austrians citing the latter) to find an academic who'll cosign it. But, I'll be damned, he's really quite taken with the claim.Hedlundnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634628224045926034.post-66702398633345734072016-01-28T09:25:16.017-08:002016-01-28T09:25:16.017-08:00@Hedlund,

Lesser Keynes may be just a secret admirer, who doesn't mind stealing other people's ideas.<br /><br />Never mind, after my reply to "Gus" I'll reply to Lesser Keynes.<br /><br /><i>"LK doesn't lean so hard on Keen; he has his own idiosyncratic take based mostly on a guy who's only remembered for being rebutted by Engels."</i><br /><br />Who is that guy?Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07528637318288802178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634628224045926034.post-21697175391599865322016-01-28T07:12:51.591-08:002016-01-28T07:12:51.591-08:00You may find it amusing.
Oof. I'd have been ...<i>You may find it amusing.</i><br /><br />Oof. I'd have been happier not knowing he'd done another one. I've responded to it, we'll see if he musters the grace to publish it, and then the spite to dismiss it in a predictable torrent of insults.<br /><br />I've read about half of your exchange with "Gus" so far, and I don't know if I'm sold on the idea that it's the same fellow. The writing style is different, for one thing, visible in the use of qualifiers and the like. Also, LK doesn't lean so hard on Keen; he has his own idiosyncratic take based mostly on a guy who's only remembered for being rebutted by Engels. Most importantly, the tone is different; this other character comes across like he's expressing honest reservations (you know, like a human being) rather than imperiously booming forth the Infallible Word of the Almighty.<br /><br />In fact, I think if LK so much as typed the word "dialectic," he'd probably have a stroke if he went ten words without adding "nonsense," "b.s.," or something approximating.Hedlundnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634628224045926034.post-11129100004448928102016-01-27T16:42:24.629-08:002016-01-27T16:42:24.629-08:00@Hedlund,
