More on Marx and Baudrillard

We didn't nearly have enough time to digest these two complex essays yesterday. To cut down on confusion somewhat, I posted my own notes on Baudrillard -- including connections to other course text in blue -- on Blackboard, under "content." Also, I've found this excellent summary of "commodity fetishism" -- much more succinct than my own notes: http://www.socialtheory.info/commodity_fetishism.htm.

Do share your lingering questions. These are difficult readings but well worth unpacking. If our collective intelligence cannot produce answers here, I promise to find them.
