Crusoe = Value

On page 236-237 Marx talks about Robinson Crusoe. The paragraph is long so i won't type it out, but pretty much Crusoe is the embodiment of Marx's value theories. All the economic talk and symbolic reasoning was weighing me down, but that slight interlude about Robinson Crusoe really showed me how simple value theories are (in theory). It also showed me that Marx really knows what hes talking about. Anybody can ramble on in complex language, but it takes a master of a subject to simplify something complex down to laymens terms, and thats what he did.
