| This question <61|65> overall <61|63> Boston: <62|62>. |
| Question 89: Why is labor measured here by labor-time, and not by counting how many movements were made, or by the drops of sweat of the laborer, or by the discomfort of the laborer? |
| [62] Boston: Labor is measured here in Labor-time because measuring labor in time keeps the measurement equal. It will be the same for all of the laborers. If you measured in drops of sweat it would not be an equal measurement because some people sweat differently than others. Also, if you measured labor in the movements that were made in would be unequal because some people are faster than others and some products may take longer to move. Measuring in labor-time seems to be the best way. |
| Hans: Everything you say is already in [61] which came 12 hours earlier than your answer. Indeed, your answer reads like a sentence-by-sentence paraphrase of [61]. Everyone is expected to read the earlier answers and to build on them rather than repeating them. |
