Then we agree that it is not correct. But are you saying this identification
is already there in Marx? At least in Capital, abstract labor is usually
discussed in the context of commodity production, so that more conditions
than the mere expenditure of energy are involved.
If anyone here knows of any important texts (besides Capital) on abstract
labor, I'd be grateful for the references.
