Abstract
As the question of appropriation of the surplus value is independent of the question of economic valuation of it, Sraffa succeeds in removing the conflation between the problem of production of the surplus product and its appropriation, which, it is argued, sits at the core of the discrepancy between Marx’s physics of production and his metaphysics of human labour.
