时间逻辑与马克思劳动价值论的内在冲突和克服

The Inherent Conflict and Conquest of Time Logic and Marxist Labor Theory of Value

在马克思劳动价值论中,时间作为商品价值量的尺度,暗含着时间是外在于商品价值的东西,其本身没有价值,不是商品;如果时间被商品化就动摇了马克思的劳动价值论。然而,马克思在批判李嘉图寻求"不变的价值尺度"时却能得出"时间也是商品"的推论。要坚持和发展马克思劳动价值理论,就必须承认时间是商品。

In Marxist Labor Theory of Value, as a measure of the commodity value, time implies that it is something external to the commodity value. Time itself has no value, so it is not a commodity. If time were com mercialized, it would shake the Marxist labor theory of value. However, Marx was able to draw the inference that ＂ time is commodity＂ when he criticized Ricardo of seeking ＂invariable measure of value＂. To adhere to and develop Marx＇s labor theory of value, we must admit that time is a commodity.
