Labour Theory of Value: Interim Report (Part 1) | Praxis

https://praxisblog.wordpress.com/2008/11/12/labour-theory-of-value-interim-report-part-1

November 12, 2008. Labour Theory of Value: Interim Report (Part 1). 8212; duncan @ 1:21 pm. Okay – I’m classifying this stuff as way stronger than ‘hunch’, but still quite a bit weaker than ‘I can cash this out in a 100,000 word monograph’. From the top:. 1) The Labour Theory of Value, as (I think) it’s generally understood, is wrong. (Which requires a bit of elaboration, so). 8211; It’s not. The LTV, in this form, seems to be to be powerfully counter intuitive. Labour in prices out. How? I can’t t...

November 12, 2008. Labour Theory of Value: Interim Report (Part 2). 8212; duncan @ 4:23 pm. Okay Here’s my current favourite passage in. I’m not sure I’m in a position to expand on this adequately now – but this passage strikes me as articulating the central equivocation in. The issue is – what is the relation between the “immediate production” and the “realization” of value? If I were going to offer an interpretation of. Just to give you a tip:. I havent finish reading the book yet, I am reading it at t...

October 27, 2008. Scientific and Literary Texts. 8212; duncan @ 12:23 am. 8220;A meaningful scientific hypothesis or theory typically asserts that certain forces are, and other forces are not, important in understanding a particular class of phenomena. It is frequently convenient to present such a hypothesis by stating that the phenomena it is desired to predict behave in the world of observation. 8221; ‘reality’ [is] one of the few words that means nothing without quotes”.

Marx on Debt | Praxis

https://praxisblog.wordpress.com/2008/11/18/marx-on-debt

November 18, 2008. 8212; duncan @ 5:51 pm. Why is there a social imperative, in capitalism, towards valorisation, accumulation, expansion of markets and production? Here’s a passage from. Volume III. Marx is talking about interest rates, and the division of surplus value into interest on capital and profit of enterprise. But rather the interplay between private property and debt, and the entrance of the social logic of debt into some kinds of apparently clear-cut private property. News From the Zona.

Being and Capital | Praxis

https://praxisblog.wordpress.com/2008/11/29/being-and-capital

November 29, 2008. 8212; duncan @ 7:24 pm. So here’s a fun parlour game. (NP is best at it :-P). Spot the many different ways in which philosophers attribute to Being the properties of capitalism, or of capital. Here’s a good one, from Heidegger’s. A Dialogue on Language. We say ‘correlation’ also when talking about the supply and demand of commodities. If man is in a hermeneutical relation, however, that means that he is precisely. 8220;J: Man stands ‘in relation’ then says the same as: Man. It is only ...

Amartya Sen’s ‘Poverty and Famines’ | Praxis

https://praxisblog.wordpress.com/2008/01/02/amartya-sens-poverty-and-famines

January 2, 2008. Amartya Sen’s ‘Poverty and Famines’. 8212; duncan @ 9:24 pm. Sen is on the side of the angels – we need more economists like him. I mean no disrespect when I approach his text with my usual ignorant belligerence. But I worry about the limits to Sen’s entitlement approach . Here he is at the very start of the book:. Because I got it by exchange through paying some money I owned. Why is my ownership of that money accepted? The problem with this approach is that it focuses exclusively on le...
