Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Determining the source of social surplus was the most important scientific and political question addressed by classical political economists. Marx accepted British political economists' argument that a product's value is based on the amount of socially necessary, simple, abstract labor that is required for its production, measured as time. Marx's theory of surplus value stems from his theory of value and has four key elements: all commodities exchange as equivalents of value; workers do not have direct access to the means of production but are free to sell their ability to work (or labor power) in order to survive; like every commodity, labor power has a value; and workers and employers exchange equivalents with workers agreeing to work a specified period of time in return for their labor power's full value (employers do not create surplus value by paying workers below their value). The key to surplus value is the unique ability of labor power, in a system of equivalent exchange, to produce, throughout an entire workday, more value than the value exchanged with the worker (the bearer of labor power). According to Marx, labor power is the sole source of surplus value and thus workers and their labor power are the source of social surplus in capitalist societies.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
