[lbo-talk] Joan Robin's "Economic Philosophy", and Karl Popper

[Mike Ballard]

JF writes: "This BTW seems also to have been the reason why Joan
Robinson abjured the label of Marxist, even though she greatly admired
Marx. For her to be a Marxist required accepting the labor theory of
value and dialectical materialism. As a good English empiricist she
rejected both as metaphysics."

If socially necessary labour time ceased being applied to the
production of goods and services, no wealth would be produced. That's
always swayed me toward the labour theory of value.
