【摘要/Abstract】 This lecture considers a Proof of Labor Theory of Value based on Marginalist Principle.Firstly, it considers two Fields of Marxian Economics based on Engels's definition, Exploitation Theory (Surplus Value Theory) and Historical Materialism. Secondly, this lecture analyzes Exploitation Theory and Historical Materialism. Exploitation Theory is based on Labor Theory of Value, established by Capital. Historical Materialism is used by Marxian Optimal Growth Model, partially explained by some books and papers, and this is the Marx’s ultimate aim to prove. Thirdly, from the discussion of Metabolism between Nature & Human, Okishio's Proof of Labor Exploitation (it is called Fundamental Marxian Theorem(FMT)) was introduced. This lecture also explains why we should be based on marginalist principle to analyze the Labor Theory of Value. Finally, it is concluded that the concept of value is a field of historical materialism, while FMT can be defended.
