Title
Expanding the labor theory of value
Abstract
This paper revisits debates over the labor theory of value in the 1970s and 1980s and proposes an expansion and revision for the neoliberal era. It draws on three empirical cases of social movements grappling with contemporary changes in the societal division of labor and argues that they can best be understood as 'revaluation' projects seeking to bring recognition to aspects of the economy that are necessary for its long-term sustainability but are not 'counted' as important.
