It should be noted that game theory that the Analytic Marxists,
especially the economist John Roemer and the social scientist
Jon Elster have attempted to use game theory for the purpose
of elucidating certain Marxian concepts. For example, Roemer
has sought to develop a theory of exploitation based on game
theoretic concepts that would replace Marx's labor theory of
value. Analytic Marxists have attempted to use game theory
for understanding how and under what conditions class solidarity
and class consciousness can develop. Even those Marxists
of a more orthodox inclination (than the Analytic Marxists) have
found game theory to be useful for such things as elucidating
Marx's law of falling profit rates.
