The piece is the crucial fifth chapter of the Inquiry. This is the turning point of the book where Thompson accepts that his original project of creating a liberatory economics on the basis of classical liberalism, albeit taken far further than any previous exponent had dared, had been overtaken by an acceptance of the limits of even the most perfected system of "free" exchange. This chapter starts with an admission that he has dumped the previous written version for this new departure. In passing he gives the section headings for the original text, covering the demands necessary for the achievement of his original goal of "free exchange". The crucial section of this chapter is his dissection of the faults of even the most perfected system of exchange. His seminal framework of 5 points is still capable of enriching contemporary critique of exchange, despite the datedness of some of the problems which have to some extent been mitigated in the intervening 180 or so years by the gains of workers' and women's struggles and the subsequent development of consumer capitalism and the welfare state.

Neden sinif kavrami anarsistler icin son derece onemlidir? Nicin surekli olarak siniflardan ve sinif mucadelesinden soz ediyoruz? Bazi muhaliflerimiz bizi gecmiste yasamakla sucluyorlar ve isci sinifinin ortadan kalkmakta oldugunu ileri suruyorlar. Nihayet, gercekten, ortada isci tulumuyla, geleneksel isci basliklariyla ve agir botlarla dolasan insanlara artik sik rastlanmiyor. Dolayisiyla, soz konusu iddia guclu bir iddia gibi gorunuyor, degil mi? Aslinda durum hic de boyle degil; su halde goruntulerle ugrasmayi bir kenara birakarak sorunun esasina bakalim.

Pari`s ha tenido la parte de lo que le correponde de gente famosa que mueren en ella. La mayori`a de ellos han terminado en el cementerio de Pierre Le Chase, y Oscar Wilde es uno de ellos. De toda la gente enterrada alli`, esa fue una de las tumbas que yo teni`a que ver cuando entre` al cementerio ra`pidamente la man~ana de marzo. Lo admire` porque era el amo del pasatiempo irlande`s de lo extraido de Michael.
