This question <129|152> overall <144|146> Everclear: <143|210>.  
  Question 127: Someone says: The law of value cannot hold. We are free people, we do what we want. We are not forced to price our commodities by their labor content. Do you agree?   
  [145] Everclear: Pricing   I too disagree with the question, as Tripper [129] does. But to add. I feel the society we live in today helps put prices on things. I can go to Allied and buy a pair of work boots for $75.00. Then I walk across the street to Norstrom or JMR and buy the exact boot for $135.00. They come in the exact box as the boots from Allied did. The same amount of abstract and concrete labor went into the production of these boots, they are made in the same shop. How does the price goes up $60.00 from Allied to Norstrom and JMR? It is the value that people put on products from Norstrom and JMR as opposed to the value of things from Allied. The labor is not any different if the product is sold at one store or another.
