Marx used historical labor prices when describing the production of an
individual economy -- what he called antecedent labor.

Marx especially in v. 2, Marx turned to coexisting labor, based on the work
of Thomas Hodgskin.

In my book, Karl Marx's Crises Theories, I make the case that Marx became
more sensitive to reproduction costs in light of the Civil War cotton
famine.
