Marginal Utility and Marginal Disutility as Ultimate Standards of Value

Charles E. Persons

Washington University in St. Louis

Abstract

The current theory of value fails to take account of inequality, 547. — Value as a “ratio in exchange” to be qualified, 549. — Utility as the ultimate standard of value, 552. — Disutility as the ultimate standard; labor, 557. — The sacrifices of capitalists, 560. — The valuation of services, 462. — Non-competing groups, 569. — Conclusion: The ultimate standard of value does not exist in a modern society, 575.
