This is sheer nonsense! People who talk about "value theory of labor" etc. have
very little understanding of the value problematic. As far as "embodied labor
theory of value" is concerned, it only means direct and indirect labor time to
reproduce the commodity at the time of its valuation. And i don't see by what
logic you argue that inclusion of services in productive labor category undermines
the embodied labor theory of value? Cheers, ajit sinha
