Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book on political economy challenges prevalent viewpoints on the nature of wealth and value. The author provides an in-depth examination of the prevailing labor theory of value, arguing that it fails to account for the effects of capital accumulation and technological advancements on productivity and economic growth. Through a series of thought-provoking examples, the author demonstrates how capital aids labor in producing greater quantities of goods and services with higher quality, thus driving down the value of existing capital and increasing the value of labor. The book challenges assumptions, offers a fresh perspective, and argues for a more comprehensive understanding of the factors that determine the value of commodities and services.
