The Creation of Value by Living Labour

More about the book

The book introduces Professor Cheng's innovative "New Four Theory," particularly emphasizing the "new living labor value theory." It builds on Marx's concepts by categorizing all forms of labor—whether producing goods or providing essential services—as value-creating. Cheng expands Marx's analysis of material production to encompass all social and economic sectors, offering a comprehensive framework for understanding value, wealth, and distribution in contemporary contexts.
