The central contention of this paper that the commentators of Marx′s ″Transformation Problem″ have failed to understand the nature of the problem with which Marx is dealing in ″Capital″, volume III, chapter 9, which is to refute Ricardo′s refutation of the labor theory of value in ″Principles″, chapter 1, section IV. The commentators of Marx, and especially his critics, have failed to understand the very terms in which Marx formulates the problem of ″Transformation″, and, especially, the notion of ″Warenwerte″ (″commodity-value″) or, what is the same, the thesis that labor is the immanent measure of value. This fundamental Marxian thesis is totally absent in the commentaries on the ″Transformation Problem″, which are thus fundamentally mistaken right from the start. In this paper, my aim is to contribute to recover the Marxian Theory of Value from its current misunderstanding and oblivion.
