[lbo-talk] advertising and marxism

[nathan tankus]

"Okay. What difference does that make? Economic processes determine
the amount of labour in them and the amount of labour in them
determines their value, right? And their value determines their worth
in the marketplace. Okay. Great.

But I claim that this isn't true. Mike Jordan wearing the Nikes
determines the amount of value attributed to them in the marketplace.
Not the amount of sweatshop labour that economic processes had
dictated go into the shoes.

Naturally, the manufacturer, through his PR people, pay Jordan
handsomely for adding market value to the product.."

I think this argument is bad. still, I'm interested in what others
would have to say about it.
