Features: This book takes globalization and the contemporary era as its perspective, and sets the time limit for discussions on this topic that have occurred domestically. It summarizes, collects, and integrates different viewpoints on several core issues in the labor theory of value, reproducing and reenacting the diverse opinions of all parties involved in the debates. The purpose is to enable peers from various fields who are interested in studying this topic to deepen their understanding through comparison. In terms of chapter arrangement, we adhere to the principle of unifying history and logic, considering both the internal connections of the labor theory of value and the chronological continuity of the debates surrounding it. Structurally, the book is divided into three levels: First level, starting with an examination of labor, it discusses the development of the connotation and extension of labor in recent times, and uses this as a logical starting point to explore the role of non-labor production factors in value creation; the second level provides a comprehensive examination of the labor theory of value; the third level reveals the political themes of the major discussion.
