The Lightning Podcast S1 E22: Labor for Value Lightning
-
- Philosophy
“The value of a commodity, or the quantity of any other commodity for which it will exchange, depends on the relative quantity of labour which is necessary for its production, and not on the greater or less compensation which is paid for that labour.”
- David Ricardo
This week on The Lightning Podcast, join Cyrus Palizban, Nico Sarian, Zohar Atkins, and Harry Jacobs as we delve into this quote on economics by David Ricardo. From Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian to Uber surge pricing and keto ice cream, the discussion expands to explore the modern applications of Ricardo's labor theory of value. The conversation touches on various topics including the perception of value, the significance of creating products that meet new or specific needs, and how technological innovations and societal attitudes reshape our understanding of worth and commoditization. Certainly, we hope you find this episode worth your time.
