No, I am quite serious, I recently saw such a book. I
agree that Marxian economics would be a better guide
to labor relations and general management than NCE.
NCE might be better on pricing questions. You really
do want to price close to marginal cost if the market
is competitive, above if not . . . . Why bother trying
to compute labor values (for this aor any other
purpose, he said provocatively, please don't follow
that up!) jks
