The Historical Mission of Das Kapital and the Marxist Labor Theory of Value in the Manuscripts
The Labor Theory of Value as a fundamental theoretical weapon for Marx to analyze the capitalist mode of produc-tion.It bears a very important historical mission.The historical mission of Labor Theory of Value is characterized by its univer-sality,particularity and temporariness.Through the Labor Theory of Value,Marx not only answered the question of"what is wealth",but also solved the question of"whether money is wealth",thus revealing the two forms of wealth under the general mode of production and pointing out the possible contradictions between the two forms of wealth.At the same time,the Labor Theory of Value carries the task of capital's repeated operation,revealing the dual attributes of special capital wealth under the special production mode of capital.The contradiction between the dual attributes of capital will inevitably transform into a con-tradiction in reality,leading to capital surplus.Ultimately,when value disappears and humanity is liberated from the labor of maintaining survival and development and engaging in higher-level activities,the historical mission of Labor Theory of Value will be completed with the end of capital productivity and capital relations,which further confirms that the mode of capital pro-duction is only historical and temporary.
