> The theoretical underpinnings of recent German Marx-research have been
> closely examined by Ingo Elbe, and have been put in the context of global
> Marx-research by Jan Hoff. A core topic of the German debate on Capital is
> value theory, especially an interpretation called monetäre Werttheorie
> (monetary theory of value). Many German Marx researchers agree that Marx’s
> theory of value can be understood as a critique of pre-monetary theories of
> value. Accordingly, they assume that there is a necessary and specific
> interconnection between Marx’s concept of value, his definition of abstract
> labor, and his theory of money. Examples of the monetäre Werttheorie-reading
> of Marx can be traced back to the 1970s, but this interpretation also
> prevails in more recent studies. Among the younger generation of scholars,
> this understanding of the Marxian theory of value is hardly contested.
