Labour Theory: Main Arguments
- 2. A person's labour is their own
and this should be taken to include
the claim that the value of a
person's labour is value that they
own
- Kawashima: Value of art: social, political and
economic structures, conceptual art
'intellectually inaccessible' but at the same
time popularised and plays important role
economically
- Value not just £
- Knowles: Economic value 'dwarfed' by symbolic
value (attracting other cultural industries, attracting
tourists, bolstering image of city, country etc
- 6. There is enough land in the world for everyone to make good use of
- 1. People have the right to
preserve own lives, this requires
some appropriation from the
common stock
- Filmer: common ownership would require
consent of all mankind, unrealistic, refuted by
Locke himself
- New Essays in IP: contents of common ideas don't
require exclusive use/ownership cf real property
- Rahmatian: almost impossible for something to derive
entirely from author, requirement of material change
- New Essays in IP: common property strained re:
IP, fully effective sue of ideas does not required
prolonged control/use and can be simultaneous
- Sometimes needed for value to be appreciated
- Attempts to monopolise run counter to IP 'spirit'
- Shriffin characterisation
- 5. A person many only appropriate to the extent that
he does not waste his acquisition or allow then to
spot (stewardship)
- New Essays in IP: only applies to real
property, IP cannot be wasted through
spoilage because usefulness does not
decay or expire
- cf advances in technology, trends
- 3. A person's labour can be 'mixed in' with a
thing or 'annexed to' a thing which it
previously didn't, labour increases the value
of a thing and labour can indicate the extent
of appropriation
- Rahmatian: different amount of labour required for
different types of work, inconsistent -- process
- New Essays in IP: Exertion =
appropriation, better claim, adds value
and makes resource useful
- 4. A person may justifiably
appropriate only where enough
and as good is left in the common
stock
- New Essays in IP: only applies to real property,
IP cannot be depleted
- 8. Invention of money occurs because
people concept to value things which
do not spoil, which allows for exchange
of labour for imperishable materials
- 7. Most of the value in something is
the result of labour which has been
'joined to' it
- Idea of Property: thing is no more than
the embodiment of value of labour,
person controls labour, labour
transforms something previously
worthless
- People consent to value something
scare (original) and will exchange it for
something (money)
- Incorrect to think in terms of
solitary labourer, better to consider
cooperation between individuals as
the norm (art world actors)
- Mixing with contract
- Cohen: value of labour
requires use, includes
control to use at will
- Kawashima: droit de suite
rationale, value not always
realised upon first sale
