[Pen-l] The Irrelevance of Workers In Economic Theory



 The Irrelevance of Workers In Economic Theory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


From: Michael P

How can you measure abtract labor?  How many teachers is a doctor
worth?  Are all 
teachers and doctors to count for the same amount?

^^^^
CB: In time, using the concept of average socially necessary labor.  (
See early chapters of _Capital_)

In the Soviet Union, miners got paid more than doctors, although Marx
does distinguish levels of skill in labor.
