Re: Critique of Comparative Advantage Please/Suggestions

You may find a rigorous economic critique of "Comparative Advantage" 
from Marxian point of view in the homepage of my co-author Anwar Shaikh. 
If you follow the link below you may find other related papers on 
international trade, capital flows, exchange rate determination, etc. 
Enjoy them.

Karl Marx, 1857, Grundrisse, "The Chapter on Money,"  p.127.
