"who is the single one contemporary person who took labour theory of value seriously in an academic sense?"
ChatGPT: G.E Cohen.
(G.E Cohen is an Analytical Marxist BTW)
Here's what G.E Cohen has to say specifically on LTV:
1. "labour theory is, moreover, false" [1]
2. "The labour theory of value is not a suitable basis for the charge of exploitation laid against capitalism by Marxists, and the real foundation of that charge is something much simpler which, for reasons to be stated, is widely confused with the labour theory of value." [2]

So here you have the one guy who took this flawed concept seriously, * from the side of Marxism * and then has to conclude that it is false.
You want me to *trust* the output of a hypercapitalistic slop machine whose owner bulk pirated most of the western knowlege for money. And he wants to scan the eyeballs of everyone for his shitcoin (and kicked out of multiple countries for abuses).
And, you expect me to read that slop drivel? Fuck, no.
I had the decency to use my own words. You can too. And, "Don't post generated text or AI-edited text. HN is for conversation between humans." I do not care about your propaganda clanker.
