Classical Economics vs. The
Exploitation Theory By George Reisman |
In this excellent article, Dr. Reisman
suggests that profits are not deducted from wages as the classical
economists, and Marx, thought. In a world without the capitalist, profits are
the primary form of income. It is only when capitalists enter the scene that
people are able to work for wages, and thus the interests of the capitalists
and the wage earners are complimentary rather than exploitative. He then
revises the labor theory of value in a manner consistent with this thesis.
