Why is it ok when Marx, after observing all the disparate features of actually existing capitalism - product markets, labor markets, money markets, firms, workers, nations - posits a law of value, and makes generalized observations about prices, competition, etc., but when psychologists observe all the disparate features of human behavior and make generalizations, they're just paraphrasing facts?
