“…On the basis of these definitions, and using a method inspired by Gouverneur (1990), it is possible to use from a base year and look at the effect of a change in the average working day in subsequent years, isolating this from other drivers of surplusvalue production (for example, relative surplus-value production and changes in the real wage). That is, to isolate absolute surplus-value emanating from changes in working hours, we will hold constant and calculate the rate of surplus-value using the actual working day less in the base year, deriving an inferred level of as a residual.…”

This paper examines the impact of work-time regulation, introduced by the UK's New Labour governments (1997 to 2010). In doing so, we return to Marx's hypotheses regarding the length of the working day. These include the arguments that class conflict over the length of the working day is inherently distributional in a surplus-value sense and that workers often display a preference for reduced suggest the impact of these policy initiatives was broadly favourable, though the effect on men and women was different.

“…cit.:59). Gouverneur (1990) utiliza el mismo método: divide la renta de la producción mercantil no capitalista entre capital variable y plusvalor, pues imputa un equivalente salarial a los trabajadores independientes y lo suma al capital variable para calcular la tasa de plusvalor. Sharpe (1982) opina igual, pero procede distinto: "He decidido asignar toda la renta de los negocios no constituidos en sociedad anónima a la renta bruta del trabajo" (op.…”

Plusvalor, ingreso de trabajadores autónomos y diferencias nacionales de tasas de plusvalor

Los países de menor productividad tienen tasas de plusvalor más altas que los de mayor productividad. Este resultado parece contradecir las necesidades de la acumulación: las naciones con más producción lo son porque tienen mayor composición orgánica promedio y precisan, por tanto, de una mayor tasa de plusvalor para compensar esa elevada composición orgánica de capital. En este artículo se examina qué han hecho distintos autores con los ingresos de los trabajadores autónomos en sus estimaciones de tasa de plusvalor; se ilustra, con el caso de México, cómo se pueden modificar las estimaciones de tasa de plusvalor y las conclusiones sobre diferencias de tasa de plusvalor entre países con diferencias significativas de productividad y se plantean algunas de las complicaciones teóricas del análisis de la relación entre el trabajo autónomo y tasa de plusvalor.

“…One trivial case in which these issues may be assumed away is the case of proportional extraction of socially necessary abstract labour quantities from individual and concrete labour quantities. Actually, Gouverneur (1990) stretches it far enough to define the value of an individual commodity as its price over the MELT:…”

The 'New Interpretation' (NI) argues that Marxian value categories can be measured using price variables through the concept of monetary expression of labour time (MELT). Starting from the central insight of the NI, this paper focuses on the estimation of sectoral rates of surplus value. It will be suggested that the MELT is decomposed into two concepts, 'value expression of labour time' and 'monetary expression of value'. As a result of this theoretically general consideration, the NI will be critically examined.
