There's a simple answer to Butler's argument: Capital Volume 1. The partial truth of what he is saying is covered by Marx in chapters 1 to 6. Note that Butler makes his stand firmly in the sphere of exchange. This is what Marx called the realm of "Freedom, Equality, Property and Bentham". Why does Butler have nothing much to say about workers and the work process? About the historical origin of capital? Butler speaks as if Marx's Capital had never been written. He's very wise to make that move.
Bourgeois economist's are a joke, this is embarrasing!! He is wrong on so many things and is fantastically mystifing virtually everything that comes out his mouth. An absolute shambles. He is either a cretin or is being rather disrespectful in not having prepared for this. He clearly doesn't know any SPGB positions relating to his comments, doesn't understand what socialism stands for and uses cheap moralism condescendingly in the most unscientific way!
