[110] BonzoIsGod: Measurement of labor. Marx measures labor by time for not only the simplicity, but also the
equality. Using time as the standard of measurement makes things easily
defined. The equality aspect comes with the reality of differences in skill
levels, pace of work, etc., of different employees. Someone that was
teaching a class for 8 hours probably did not exert as much physical energy
as a worker on a manufacturing floor. Therefore, examining each field of
work separately by drops of sweat or movements made poses an inequality in
labor forces. Simply saying that Joe taught for 8 hours and Tom installed
parts for 8 hours makes the equation an equal one. |
