Talk:History of capitalist theory

Bias! "Modern economics rejects the labor theory of value in favor of Marginalism?
"In modern times, the labor theory of value has been discredited in favor marginalism." Okay, who wrote this cringe? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.178.84.103 (talk) 05:19, 14 November 2020 (UTC)


 * That statement stood out as being a bit weird to me as well. The issue with that statement is that it is bias being presented as non-bias. This is the full quote:

"Modern economics rejects the labor theory of value in favor of marginalism."

There are many modern Economists who believe and use the labour theory of value. Claiming modern economics rejects the labour theory of value implies that it's not used by any economists anymore, which simply isn't true. Or, even worse, it implies that economics is a hard science rather than a social science, that no subjectivity exists within economics and that the Labour Theory of Value has been discredited in a similar manner to an incorrect scientific theory about the physical world (which simply isn't true).
 * I'm going to change it to make it less biased. Earthywingnut (talk) 00:51, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
 * This is what I've changed it too:
 * "Many economists have since used marginalism to dispute the the Labour theory of Value" I think this is less biased than it was before. Earthywingnut (talk) 01:26, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism should be mentioned in this article.

capital as money
Marx does not define capital as "money"; nor does he use them interchangeably. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.206.19.130 (talk) 02:15, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge with Capitalism
Obviously there's too much to merge, but following best faith process. Lycurgus (talk) 23:03, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

In the Overview there's too much Ayn Rand nonsense. What does Altruism and all that gobblygook have to do with the History of Capitalist Theory? Why isn't M. Keynes mentioned in the overview instead of a novelist?

DMCA
Greets:

I found this page via a DMCA request. I'm placing this here in the hopeful attempt that the reviewer from Google sees this. If you look at the Copyscape page which is dated, the report generated is dated 2013. If you look at the publishyourarticles date of copyright, it's dated 2012. (There's no publication date listed visible or within the outputted source so you have to assume that the copyright date applies.) Going back through the page history here, the section copyscape marked was added in before 2012. (I finally gave up looking to see when it was added.) The DMCA claim appears to be false at the requester copied the material and is not claiming it as their own. --168.215.131.150 (talk) 17:37, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
