Just out of curiosity, have you ever read one of Kevin Carson’s books (such as Studies in Mutualist Political Economy), where he gives the arguments in favor of the economic claims that he makes? (I mean actually read it, from cover to cover.)

Or are you just taking it for granted that the conclusions he draws have been pre-refuted, since some part of those conclusions are, in some sense or another, shared by Marxists?

In particular, have you ever read Part 1 of Studies of Mutualist Political Economy, wherein (among other things), Carson discusses several different versions of the Labor Theory of Value, including but not limited to Marx’s version (Marx did not invent the idea, and there were many rival versions of the LTV at the time he wrote), explains why he finds Marx’s version severely lacking, and why the specific Labor Theory that he intends to defend (a version which he identifies with Tucker and radical interpreters of Ricardo) is not susceptible to the same counter-arguments that Marx’s version is?
