Value for money? Putting Marx through the mill

Marx’s analysis of commodities and the labour theory of value is examined in light of the integrationist principle that signification is a product of communication. An interrogation of Marx’s version of the labour theory of value seems to suggest that his treatment is compatible with integrationist principles. Marx’s position appears to be exceptionally well thought through and free from the uncritical banalities, reifications and mystifications that are all too common in economic theorising.
