Materials for the Reconstruction of Marx's Theory of Value

In the literature of social science, no other text is known whose formal structure and substantive meaning are as controversial as the first four chapters of Capital. Marxist accounts of the theory of value, with few exceptions, would like to leave no doubt that the derivation of value is clearly and distinctly, as it were more geometrico accomplished.

Safer cabal --upgrade-dependencies. Easy detection of non-optimal upper bounds. Unregister broken packages with ghc. Reset ghc pkg db.
# unregister broken GHC packages. Run this a few times to resolve
# dependency rot in installed packages. ghc-pkg-clean -f
# cabal/dev/packages*.conf also works.
function ghc-pkg-clean() {
for p in `ghc-pkg check $* 2>&1 | grep problems | awk '{print $6}' | sed -e 's/:$//'`
do
echo unregistering $p; ghc-pkg $* unregister $p
done
}
