Abstract

ABSTRACT Somerville's brief critique of ecologically unequal exchange (EUE) theory illustrates how entangled traditional labour theories of value are in 19th century discourse on political economy. His incapacity to understand the point of EUE theory reflects the idealist myopia of such discourse, largely oblivious of the material metabolism of world society. For theorists genuinely committed to historical materialism, EUE theory should provide a welcome antidote to mainstream economics.

作为真正唯物主义的生态不平等交换理论:对萨默维尔的回应

萨默维尔对生态不平等交换理论的简要批判说明了传统劳动价值理论在19世纪政治经济学话语中是如何纠缠在一起的。他无法理解EUE理论的观点，反映了这种话语的理想主义短视，在很大程度上忽视了世界社会的物质代谢。对于真正致力于历史唯物主义的理论家来说，EUE理论应该为主流经济学提供一种受欢迎的解药。
