But in this context they would assume commodity production, money and the exchange of equivalents, we do not assume these things.

I think that you and Cottrell has admitted that socially necessary labor must be reallocated toward the production of goods that changes of preferences have pointed out as more valuable or desired. An orthodox Marxist would interpret this as the law of value determining consumption decisions.

I think it ill defined since they never gave an explicit defintion of the law.

Don't you think, Paul C., that most Marxist would think that ‘law of value’ continues determining consumption decisions in you model of socialism?

In what sense do you think that 'law of value' as used in Soviet debates was ill defined?

No.

I think that the term 'law of value' as used in Soviet debates was ill defined.

Cottrell and Cockshott,

Do you consider that the ‘law of value’ continues determining consumption decisions in you model of socialism?
