20.500.12556/RUL-181149 Uneven development, choice of technique, and generalized worldwide law of value We address the issue of persistent uneven development from a Marxist perspective. First, we show the conceptual problems in applying the unmodified law of value to the international setting. Second, we propose a generalization of the global law of value by introducing an additional level of abstraction into the global valorization process—national abstract labor. Third, we examine broad cases of internationalization caused by deviations in productivity differences across industries from the average productivity differences across countries. We discover an endogenous national and international dynamic push toward specialization that perpetuates uneven development. The benefits of such specialization are skewed in favor of more developed countries, and the potential for technological improvement created by the global division of labor blocks technological progress in less developed countries. uneven development choice of technique law of value value of labor power wage differentials Ekonomija Plače Družbena neenakost true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-03-26 09:07:39 2026-03-26 09:07:43 2026-03-30 04:13:01 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 405-426 no. 3 Vol. 56 Sept. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-03-16 331.2:330.368 0486-6134 10.1177/04866134241234362 273105667 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/04866134241234362 1 bc6ddf91-28ea-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=231346 RAZ_Knez_Klemen_2024.pdf RAZ_Knez_Klemen_2024.pdf 1 C71033FB87A376D6E4F5C97C63DC87C5 0ab617bfd2a530baef4ba205192c4b54ce0fc3c1d5f1614146b412c2ef2802d4 f0fd968a-28ea-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=231347 Fakulteta za družbene vede 0 0 0
