  Well, we briefly covered the concept in a business valuation course today, and I think I better understand your original line of thought.&#160; If we want to look at the value added by a process (ie conversion of raw materials into finished product)]]></description>

Shane, I went back and re-read the definition in the book, and Thurow
sure seems to be saying that labor is not included. It`s the sale price
minus the cost of materials and components. That speaks to DMI`s example, of building a real building on piece[...]]]></description>
