Re: More on the labor theory of value

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In a way, the violinists' demands are not as strange as they seem.
Richard Biernacki has argued that the Germans and the British had a
different conception of labor -- the Germans historically measured labor
by something like Marx's labor power; the British, by the value produced
by labor.  For example, in German publishers paid authors by the number
of pages they produced rather than by the sales of the books.
