Talk:Rate of exploitation

There's not one reference here, political economists - get on it! Yours sincerely, Fitz. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.172.116.79 (talk) 19:35, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

There is a machine-learning/artificial-intelligence idea called "exploitation rate" that contrasts the rate of exploitation vs. exploration. There should be a disambiguation for that.

Marx uses rate of surplus value and rate of exploitation synonymously

The section "Divergence of the two rates" says that RoE and RoSV are different things, despite Marx again and again in chapter 9 of vol 1 alternating between the two terms. In particular Marx says that the rate of surplus-value is "the exact expression for the degree of exploitation of labour-power by capital" (p. 153 in the PDF version of Samuel Moore and Edward Aveling's translation). Moore and Aveling use degree of exploitation in most places except chapter 18 where they use rate of exploitation. Why I don't know, but degree and rate are clearly used synonymously as well. RoE and RoSV are always in terms of value (SNLT), not price. Marx is careful to separate value from price. KetchupSalt (talk) 11:32, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
