>From my pov, the question what determines value is fundamentally a
metaphysical one (in the sense defined by Kant in "Prolegomena to Any
Future Metaphysics"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prolegomena_to_Any_Future_Metaphysics) -
i.e. a question that we ask because asking such questions is a natural
disposition of human reason, but it is not possible to answer it by
rational means (i.e. as we answer questions in science.)

In other words, Marx was full of shit for even attempting to write a critique of political-economy based on the labour theory of value.
