Someone
quoted Marx:
>>As soon as labour
in the direct form has ceased
to be the great
well-spring of wealth, labour time ceases and must
cease to be its measure, and hence exchange value must
cease to be the measure of use value.'<<
In the
context of the Grundrisse, is
Marx referring to a tendency that actually is realized -- or may
someday be
realized -- under capitalism?
It seems to
me that there exist
counter-tendencies under capitalism that would prevent this from
happening in
practice.
