Law of value
The law of value is a concept in Karl Marx's critique of political economy. Most generally, it refers to a regulative principle of the economic exchange of the products of human work: the relative exchange-values of those products in trade, usually expressed by money-prices, are determined (in some way) by the average amounts of human labour-time which are currently socially necessary to produce them.
