the notion of redistribution suggests the wrong source
the dollar equivalent of a producers marginal/incremental product
--as properly defined and calculated ---
may belong to that producer
but hardly theequivalent of the total product
the producers surplus belongs to society
the sunk costs of technology deserve their rightful appropriation
as the surplus of co operation does
and nature's bounty
in as much as society has produced it
what is the value of certain hours of production
the social dividend earned or unearned
oughta come out of the producers surplus
in fact oughta be all of the producers surplus
what is the value of a soft ware analyst's timte on a desert island
