Seventeenth-century philosopher John Locke statedthat as much as 99 percent of the value of any useful product can be attributedto “the effects of labor.”  For Locke’sintellectual heirs it was only a short step to the “labor theory of value,”whose formulators held that 100 percent of the value of any product is generatedby labor (the human work needed to produce goods) and that therefore the employerwho appropriates any part of the product’s value as profit is practicing theft.
     Although human effort is required toproduce goods for the consumer market, effort is also invested in makingcapital goods (tools, machines, etc.), which are used to facilitate the productionof consumer goods.  In modern economiesabout one-third of the total output of consumer goods is attributable to theuse of capital goods.  Approximately two-thirdsof the income derived from this total output is paid out to workers as wagesand salaries, the remaining third serving as compensation to the owners of thecapital goods.  Moreover, part of thisremaining third is received by workers who are shareholders, pension beneficiaries,and the like. The labor theoryof value systematically disregards the productive contribution of capitalgoods—a failing for which Locke must bear part of the blame.

会不会是Locke’s economic theories跟the labor theory of value不是一回事。第一段说，John Locke stated that as much as 99 percent of the value of any useful product can be attributed to “the effects of labor.”而For Locke’s intellectual heirs it was only a short step to the “labor theory of value,” whose formulators held that 100 percent of the value of any product is generated by labor.
 最后一段说The labor theory of value systematically disregards the productive contribution of capital goods—a failing forwhich Locke must bear part of the blame.


本文主要批驳的是labor theory of value.顺便说Locke也不对？求教NN~~正解

抓住主题句【Although human effort is required to produce goods for the consumer market, effort is also invested in making capital goods (tools, machines, etc.), which are used to facilitate the production of consumer goods.】

是因为economic theories不等于labor theory of value吗？
总感觉C有点过了，作者只是说J的theory忽视了某部分，要是说incomplete我觉得还恰当些～

同问，我也选了A，感觉应该是economic theories范围有点大，应具体明确是labor theory of value。
还有9题也不懂，labor theory of value理论的支持者会对“批判labor theory of value没有考虑到capital goods的作用”这种说法做出怎样的回复？
我选的是A，答案是E，感觉E说反了吧，这是承认capital goods的作用哦
