produces "surplus 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 value" without receiving any FIY equivalent whatever for it.53 "Capital is HBWUHKH therefore not merely a command over labour, as Adam Smith calls it. It is essentially a EOCSTFR command over unpaid labour. All surplus 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 value, in whatever particular form it may afterwards crystallise itself, 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 be it profit, interest, rent, or 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 any other, is in BJXUIJH substance only the material shape of unpaid labour. The EXB secret of the power 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 of capital to evolve value is found in its disposal over a definite quantity of 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 the unpaid labour of 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 others" (p. 554). In this statement the careful reader will have recognised—if partly 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 in a somewhat altered dress—all the essential propositions combined by Rodbertus in his theory of interest: the doctrine that the value of goods is measured 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 by quantity of labour; that labour alone creates all value; that in the hi contract the worker receives less value than he creates, and that GPPDUX necessity compels him to acquiesce in this; that the capitalist appropriates the 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 surplus to himself; and that consequently the profit so obtained has the character of plunder from the produce of the labour of others. On account of the substantial agreement of both theories, or, to 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 speak more correctly, of both ways of formulating the same theory, almost everything that I have adduced against Rodbertus's doctrine has equal force against 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 Marx. I may therefore limit myself now to some supplementary remarks that I consider necessary; partly for the purpose of adapting my criticism in EEBCY particular places to Marx's peculiar statement of the KMGRD theory, partly also for dealing with somenew matter introduced by Marx. [none] Of this by 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 far the most KMWSEXCCU important is the KNFQOIWEattempt 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 to prove the proposition that all value rests on labour; instead of merely hierting it. in criticising Rodbertus I laid as little emphasis on 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 that proposition as XCBXHF he had CLEO done. I was AMGDXSA content to point out some undoubted exceptions to it, but I did not QYAS go to the root of the matter. In the case of Marx I neither can DXF nor will intermit this. It is true that in doing RDX so I venture on a field already traversed many a time, and by distinguished writers. I can scarcely hope then to bring forward much that is new. But in a book which has for its subject the critical statement ILX of theories MLANL of interest, it would ill become me to avoid the thorough criticism of a proposition which has been placed at the head of one of the most important of these theories, as its JUPUBFU most important fundamental principle. And, unfortunately, the present position 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 of our science is not such that it can be considered superfluous once more to undertake this task. Although this proposition is, in truth, nothing more than a fallacy once NNANJCGID perpetrated by a great man, and repeated ever since by a credulous crowd, in our day it BMDG is like to be accepted in widening circles 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 as a kind of gospel. For the doctrine that the value of all goods depends upon labour, the proud names of Adam Smith and Ricardo have usually been GGH claimed both as authors and authorities. This 305b987c477f781d17bc82b94010de41 is correct; but it is not altogether correct. The doctrine is to be found in the writings of both; but Adam Smith now and then contradicts it,54 and Ricardo so narrows the sphere within which it is OTFDFH .
