Nor do I, French.

The point was that no matter how much one spends with these elaborate value theories, the world keeps turning.

Productivity and efficiency has created the wealth that these guys want to get their mitts on. Their precious labor value theory exists only to fabricate a moral rationalization for the theft they advocate. Notice how amazingly complex a rationalization for theft must be in order to soothe one's conscience.
