A Note on the Difference between Human and Non-Human Production Factors: Commentson War, Love and Culture

In this article, Professor Pagano views human relations as generally '(...) influenced by the prevailing features of the goods (private, public and positional) that have characterized production in different stages of the history.' In my comment, I focus on the distinction between human and non-human productive factors. Because of their obvious relationship, some of the considerations that follow from such a distinction are already-explicitly or otherwise-in the target article's argument; those that are not, especially with regard to the cultural determinant of value, could be easily integrated into it. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
