The pangs value
There is an important issue to be overlooked in economic readings and in Marxist criticism when they say that the surplus value that is supposed to be returned to the worker is stolen by the employer. This issue can be called a pangs value. I will try to explain it here simply because I understand it simply and not because I am trying to simplify it. Imagine three people, each with 7,000 pounds. But the seven thousand pounds is worthless and can not establish a profitable project. The three decide to raise their money to set up a joint venture, and indeed a project with a capital of twenty-one thousand pounds. The profitable project achieves a net profit of twelve thousand pounds and thus the share of each one is distributed four thousand pounds. Our partners agree on the following: turn back the seven thousand pounds to the third partner and the profit (four thousand pounds). And expelled him from the partnership after the project was founded and found a turnout of consumers and won reputation and name. Yes, what the two partners did seemed fair at first, but it ignores an important point: the 7,000 share of the expelled partner was of higher value. Without it, the project would not have started. This is what I call a pangs value. Where the share has the value of strengthening the capacity of the project and make profits from the beginning. Marxists cancel this value when they completely eliminate it and go beyond it from a later point in time is that the worker loses the surplus value. Without asking many logical questions: What is the motive for the worker to give up the excess value? What if the employer did not have a job mainly, and what was the worker's position without the economic establishment that the employer had launched? ... here they ignore the pangs value ... As if the image of the worker and the employer and work have emerged to exist without introductions ...
