What about . LADY STILTMAN ! ?!?<| sep |> We don ' t just dismiss it . Do you honestly think decades of political theorists just completely forgot about human nature ? And my response was to your edit , so I don ' t see how your downvotes factor in here . <| sep |> Value is Market Value , not Cost of manufacture . Labor is also subject to Market Value . My time has a value to me , and my expertise has a value to my employer . I market my time and expertise to my employer . If I am dissatisfied with what they are paying for what I have to sell , I can see what others would pay for it . I am not a slave to my employer , I ' m a slave to the market , and that ' s entirely subjective . I think . I know I don ' t know everything . I could be wrong . I haven ' t seen anything to successfully refute my understanding yet .
