Abstract:

The theory of labor force commodity is the cornerstone of Marxist political economy, unlocking the historical mystery of capitalist mode of production. In recent years, scholars Jingchun Lv and Liangdong Li have argued that there are inherent contradictions in the theory of labor force commodity and have attempted to propose the "worker commodity" theory as an alternative. This article provides a detailed analysis and argumentation, asserting that the theory of labor force commodity is logically sound, in line with the historical development of society,and irrefutably scientific in its analysis of the laws of historical development in capitalist society, and can be flexibly applied to the emergence of specific problems in the development of the times. This article also proposes a method for calculating the value growth of labor force, highlighting the vitality of the theory of labor commodity in addressing education issues.

Key words:

labor force commodity, subsistence goods, consumption activities, education and training
