THE LABOR THEORY IN MARX: THE MERCHANDISE and the critique of the critique to the centrality of labor

The main objective of this article is to discuss how the labour-value and commodity categories are presented in authors defenders of the loss of centrality of labour. We argue that their analysis embraces an insufficient interpretation of theoric fundamentals of labour-value and commodity in Marx. For this, we’ll do contraposition presenting a social and historic form of labour-value and notion of common-commodity, commodity-service and commodity-capital.

Labour-value; Commodity; Centrality of labor; Wealth
