Hi HGG,

Am 18.03.2012 22:19, schrieb Hans-Gert Gräbe:
Jakob pointed to reciprocity and accounting mechanisms in non 
capitalistic market economies, so one has to answer the question
of the relation between accounting and value theories. Accounting
is even part of gift economies, since those also relate on the 
evaluation of gifts in the sense that there are expectations to be 
fulfilled and hence rest on a common value formation as part of a 
social process. Gifts form in that sense a special "credit money" 
system that have to be returned in due times to reproduce social 
relations. Normally even in a husband-wife system accounting is 
present in the sense that there are private counts coming into 
conflict ocassionally. Resolving those conflicts means to
establish a bilaterally agreed "value practise".

good illustration why we have to transcend any kind "value" and
"accounting", thus "exchange" with coupled giving and taking:
http://keimform.de/2011/pattern-1-beyond-exchange/

Hence, surely only a part of Marxian value theory can be "a 
specific theory for capitalism". The more, what is capitalism, if 
there is capitalism after "the end of capitalims as we know it" 
(E.Altvater)?

Marxian theory is not a theory _for_ capitalism, on the contrary, it
is a theory _against_ capitalism, namely a _critique_. The citique of
political economy is not positive science. You are right in the sense,
that the theory stems from capitalism, and that's why we have to
transcend its categories if we want to go beyond. Post-capitalism can
not be grasped in terms of the critique of capitalism.

Ciao,
Stefan
