39、ith the thesis above, not the least of (68) is that wealthy capitalists can buy the experts and knowledge they need to keep their profits and influence. But this does not (69) the importance of knowledge in an advanced industrial society, as the (70) of some new industries indicates. (71) , genetic

Not necessarily. For, although a reduction in the existing money-wage would lead to a withdrawal of lab
48、or, it does not follow that a fall in the value of the existing money-wage in terms of wage-goods would do so, if it were due to a rise in the price of the latter. In other words, it may be the case that within a certain range the demand of labor is for a minimum money-wage and not for a minimum real wage. The classical school has tacitly assumed that this would involve no significant change in their th
