Bob Murphy Show - The Rise and Fall of the Labor Theory of Value
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Relying on his Journal of Libertarian Studies review essay of Kevin Carson' book on mutualism, Bob first explains--and then critiques--the labor (and cost) theory of economic value. This was not exclusively a Marxist idea; it was held by Adam Smith and other classical economists.
