"the pendulum of the clock has become as accurate a measure of the relative
activity of two workers as it is of the speed of two locomotives. Therefore, we
should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that
one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time
is everything, man is nothing." [The Poverty of Philosophy]

How can you measure abtract labor? How many teachers is a doctor worth? Are all
teachers and doctors to count for the same amount?

CB: Can't abstract labor be measured in time ? Concrete labor might be
hard to quantify except in terms of numbers of commodity units ?
