Studies in the Labour Theory of Value (1956; second edition 1973) is a book about the labor theory of value by the economist Ronald L. Meek.[1] The book has been praised by commentators.
Summary
Meek discusses the labor theory of value,[2] and provides a brief account of the development of Karl Marx's economic ideas.[3]
Reception
A. W. Coats reviewed Studies in the Labour Theory of Value positively in Kyklos, writing that whether or not Meek was successful in his defense of the labor theory of value, he "certainly provided enough solid material to tax the ingenuity of students of Marxist economics."[1] Studies in the Labour Theory of Value was praised by the historian G. E. M. de Ste. Croix in The Class Struggle in the Ancient Greek World (1982),[3] and by the political scientist David McLellan in the 1995 edition of Karl Marx: His Life and Thought.[2]
