Seminal essay from 1979 from Diane Elson arguing for the importance of Marx’s “Value Theory of Labour.” The essay was a product of debates within the Conference of Socialist Economists (CSE). Full PDF of the essay also below. Note: As Soren Mau pointed out, more than two decades before Elson, Raya Dunayevskaya suggested that we should speak of the ‘value theory of labour’ rather than the ‘labour theory of value’.
