Andy asks of this LSV quote
>"A sign or an auxiliary means of a cultural method forms a structural and

>and the relative importance of each separate [psychological] process." (I
>quote the whole passage below).

something indicating an if-then proposition:
>Surely the observation above leads directly to the conception of the
>psychology of the human being brought up in the society of generalised
>commodity production having at its very centre the money symbol? and
>surely
>an understanding of the psychology of the modern human being rests on
>this?

personally, i don't see it. but then i don't know what you mean by
"psychology"
let alone the generalization of money as a structuring sign -
can you elaborate for me, the dunce of the class?
thanks
