the claim
Contemporary Marxist economists deny the utility and value theory underpinning classical economics
the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
confidence 4/100

Contemporary Marxist economists do not reject the labor theory of value; rather, they continue to apply and defend it as a central analytical tool for modern empirical economics. Evidence from current research shows that Marxist value theory remains foundational for understanding contemporary labor productivity, surplus value, and class dynamics.
