I've just found this little treasure trove of resources and because I'm an egalitarian kinda guy I'm going to share the wealth with you, my electronic friends. David Coates is an extremely good left wing political economist. On his home page are a variety of recently published or yet to be published articles which you can download for free. I haven't read all (or very many) of them yet, but I would recommend that you have a look at the top essay on the list: "The Category of Labour: Its Continued Relevance in Social Theory".

Unfortunately I can't quote any of it here, since Coates makes it quite clear that he doesn't want anyone quoting any of this unpublished stuff without permission.
