> What matter, it seems to me, are the power imbalances stemming from workers' alienation from the means of production. We can talk about these clearly enough without adopting Marx's labor value analysis. The LTV is essential to the argument that capitalist profit is unpaid labour-time. I am literally working for free, giving away my living moments for the benefit of another. The surplus-school rejects this since it does not resolve the classical contradictions of the LTV. In my view, its critique of capitalism is the poorer because of it.
