So, I read Lukács saying this:
And now I have Toto's "Hold The Line" in my head. Sigh.
Catching a plane in 4 hours and 18 minutes. I feel increasingly like spirit without body... I am losing my material substratum, people...
"Marx has often demonstrated convincingly how inadequate the 'laws' of bourgeois economics are to the task of explaining the true movement of economic activity in toto."

Would be interesting to read your Lukacs paper if you have a written form. I would have gone to the conference but alas was out of Sydney for the weekend.
I'll provide a link to it once it's written up.
My half of the talk was fairly introductory - what is reification, and then some points about fragmentation / objectification of the self once work-time becomes a commodity. It was the other guy I was presenting with that had the ridiculous task of explaining how the worker becomes the identical subject-object of the historical process, via a brief sojourn through 500 years of philosophy, all in 15 minutes...
I will post my impressions of the conference soon. It was a very stimulating weekend.
