Missing Marginal Theory of Value

Missing the marginal theory of value, which is the dominant theory of value today. Also, pet peeve of mine, why are articles like this always awash in marxist and post-modernist information. Shouldn't LTV and ETV be in a section headed "Classical Theories of Value"? Where is Smith's 'adding up of costs' theory of value? Why are there four marxist theories of value here, zero modern theories of value, no non-marxist classical theories, and no random weird competing theories of value like Sraffian? 73.163.178.158 (talk) 16:55, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

Definitely a glaring omission, and Sraffa as well deserves to be included. I would say at least some of the Marxist theories of value are "modern" in the sense that they have a renewed relevance and growth in popularity in recent years, but they themselves aren't well or completely explained. Perhaps the book: Frederick Harry Pitts. Value. ISBN 978-1509535668. would serve as a good launching-pad for a reconfiguration of this page. Amkoir (talk) 03:32, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
