Abstract

Our treatment of the theme is inspired by the formulation of Hiroshi Onishi. Professor Onishi establishes the labor theory of value by deriving a proportionality between labor power and output. We engage with the Professor's marginalist treatment and proceed to the dialectical approach to Marx's theory of value. Accordingly, money is an integral part of the subject.
