GWD 21-Q7 to Q9:

      Seventeenth-century

          philosopher John Locke

           stated that as much as

Line       99 percent of the value of

  (5)      any useful product can be

attributed to “the effects of

labor.”  For Locke’s intellec-

tual heirs it was only a short

step to the “labor theory of

 (10)      value,” whose formulators

held that 100 percent of the

value of any product is gen-

erated by labor (the human

work needed to produce

 (15)      goods) and that therefore the

employer who appropriates

any part of the product’s

value as profit is practicing

theft.

 (20)            Although human effort is

       required to produce goods

       for the consumer market,

effort is also invested in

making capital goods (tools,

 (25)      machines, etc.), which are

used to facilitate the produc-

tion of consumer goods.  In

modern economies about

one-third of the total output of

 (30)      consumer goods is attribut-

able to the use of capital

goods.  Approximately two-

       thirds of the income derived

from this total output is paid

 (35)
                       out to workers as wages and

salaries, the remaining third

serving as compensation

to the owners of the capital

      goods.  Moreover, part

 (40)     of this remaining third is

received by workers who

are shareholders, pension

beneficiaries, and the like.

The labor theory of value

 (45)      systematically disregards

the productive contribution of

capital goods—a failing for

which Locke must bear part

of the blame.

Q9:

Which of the following arguments would a proponent of the labor theory of value, as it is presented in the first paragraph, be most likely to use in response to the statement that “The labor theory of value systematically disregards the productive contribution of capital goods” (lines 44-47)?

             

1. The productive contributions of workers and capital goods cannot be compared because the productive life span of capital goods is longer than that of workers.
2. The author’s analysis of the distribution of income is misleading because only a small percentage of workers are also shareholders.
3. Capital goods are valuable only insofar as they contribute directly to the production of consumer goods.
4. The productive contribution of capital goods must be discounted because capital goods require maintenance.
5. The productive contribution of capital goods must be attributed to labor because capital goods are themselves products of labor.

答案是E，我选了A，看来看去只觉得BC肯定不对，剩下的就不知道怎么排除了~~~请教各位NN

A是不对的，问题问支持 be most likely to use in response to the statement 也就是labor theory。A中的life span没有提到

D也是不对的，capital goods在labor theory里也要算到labor头上，discouted了就少了一部分价值，与第一段说的90%甚至100%都属于labor不符

easy4meeeeee

请问B选项怎么不对

作者反对labor theory，B选项指出了作者论证的漏洞，在逻辑上不就是支持了labor theory吗

把Q9当作逻辑题来做.
E:学过政治经济学应该知道这就是劳动价值论反驳资本价值论最重要的观点.

Q9:

Which of the following arguments would a proponent of the labor theory of value, as it is presented in the first paragraph, be most likely to use in response to the statement that “The labor theory of value systematically disregards the productive contribution of capital goods” (lines 44-47)? Predict：positive→labor negative→capital goods

A.    The productive contributions of workers and capital goods cannot be compared because the productive life span of capital goods is longer than that of workers.　说了不能比较其实是很薄弱的支持labor，或者说根本就没支持，就很像老师问问题你说你不知道一样，没有表明态度就什么也不是

B.    The author’s analysis of the distribution of income is misleading because only a small percentage of workers are also shareholders.

无关，也没有提到labor和capital goods的态度

C.    Capital goods are valuable only insofar as they contribute directly to the production of consumer goods.

无关　说capital goods only valuable 也是很薄弱的支持labor又或者跟本没提到labor的positive

D.    The productive contribution of capital goods must be discounted because capital goods require maintenance.

说了capital goods的negative但也没说就是需要labor来maintenance阿

E.     The productive contribution of capital goods must be attributed to labor because capital goods are themselves products of labor.
