[39] Catfish: Wrong and the Right Answers. Marx does not supply the right answers to the question as to how to measure
value because he wants to emphasize that “the substance of value is equal
human labor.” The lazy person is not supplying the same quantity or quality
of labor as an industrious person. In the abstract, or ideal, all persons are
offering the same effort, the same level of human labor in any process. When
adding or subtracting fractions, one must find the common denominator. The
same would apply to the concept of labor. In order to identify a quantity of
labor, one must define the standard, or average of the labor between the lazy
person and the industrious one. Then you could quantify the labor power of
any person or group of persons. |
