Abstract

The article reviews Heinrich’s An Introduction to the Three Volumes of Karl Marx’s Capital. It questions three main features of Heinrich’s work: its defence of teleology, its view that no empirical proof is needed of the labour theory of value and its particular monetary interpretation of the theory of value. This approach, it argues, is anti-scientific.
